Former President Donald J. Trump often characterizes his presidential campaign as a battle for America’s future.
During Thursday’s speech at the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville, Mr. Trump portrayed the threat as liberals — more specifically, a “radical left, corrupt political class” — whom he broadly cast as intrinsically bent on attacking Christianity.
“Christians, they can’t afford to sit on the sidelines in this fight,” Mr. Trump said.
He later added, without offering evidence, that liberals were persecuting Christians because “they know that our allegiance is not to them.
Our allegiance is to our country, and our allegiance is to our creator.” (There are many Christians who are Democrats.)
