Paula White, who called BLM “Antichrist”, named by Trump as the head of the new Faith office in the new White House
President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he would create a new office of faith in the White House and called the television evangelist, Fr. Paula White to guide him. Trump shared the news while speaking during the National Prayal Breakfast in Washington, where the leaders of faith and double -sided members of the Congress gathered at the annual event.
“If we don’t have religious freedom, we don’t have a free country. We probably don’t even have a country – said Trump. “Being in the White House, we are going to protect Christians in our schools, in our army, in our government, in our workplaces, hospitals and in our public squares, and we are going to bring our countries back as one nation under God, with freedom and justice for everybody . “
Reverend Paula White was tapped to run a new office of faith in the White House, it just isn’t surprising. The popular telewangelist is an extended -term friend and supporter of Trump and presented him at breakfast as “People’s President” and “the greatest master of every president he has ever been religion.” White sat on the evangelical advisory council in the presidential election of Trump in 2016, led the invocation during his first inauguration and was employed as a special adviser to the first administrative office of Trump Public Liaison.

Her first broadcast was broadcast on Bet, and she or he was a private advisor to black characters such as Michael Jackson and former MLB player Darryl Strawberry. White recognized Pastor TD Jakes as the predominant spiritual influence.
However, in the political creation of Trump Paul White adopted conservative political opinions, which seemingly interfered with the mainstream of black politics. Despite the initially supporting In June 2020, protests in the nationwide Black Lives Matter after George Floyd’s murder in June 2020, White adopted an anti-BLM attitude only a couple of months later after losing Trump in the presidential election.
“The similarity of Christ is not found in my sex, it is not in my culture, it is not in my ethnic origin, it is not in KKK, it is not in Antifa and is not in black matter. All of which are antichrists and even terrorist organizations. “
White’s support by Trump seemingly broken relations with the Black Church community. When asked about his relationship with Pauła White, TD Jaks disregarded the view that he was her mentor and explained that that they had different political opinions.
“I wouldn’t describe her as a mentee. She had years of experience in service before she met me. In the period in which she worked closely with me, President Trump was not a problem “, Jaks he said The online journal, current. He continued to say that “… before she moved to this area, I don’t think she really considers myself a mentee. We certainly still have an amicable relationship, but our views on politics are certainly different. And she knows it. “
White’s evangelical and political opinions were also expanded to immigration, in which she rejected the suggestions that Jesus Christ was a migrant who broke the law and defended the controversial policy of the separation of the Trump family on the border of the US-Massek.
“I think that so many people took biblical Scriptures on this subject, say:” Well, Jesus was a refugee, “said White Christian Broadcast Network, in accordance with VOX. She added: “Yes, (Jesus) he lived in Egypt for 3 and a half years. But it wasn’t illegal. If he broke the law, he can be sinful and wouldn’t be our Messiah. “
The and leader of the civil rights of Fr. William Barber from the campaign of poor people at the moment released White’s comments and called her a “Christian nationalist”, which “allowed injustice” together with her “biblical interpretations”, which “echo” slaves of religious theory.
“If we do not help people exchange and condemn #slaveholdeligion, they remain to believe that this is the teaching of the Church,” wrote Barber on X. / Orthodox faith. “
