Fox News host Shannon Bream asked Jeffress about recent comments from Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand saying that the Trumps family separation policy is rooted in ideas that are evil and hateful. Bream said people on the Hill vouch for Gillibrands sincere Christian faith.
Well, she may be sincere, but shes sincerely wrong. To characterize the presidents actions in this as evil, to me is absolutely outrageous. Look, Romans chapter 13 does say God instituted government to maintain order and to punish those who commit evil. And to call the president evil for simply doing what God has given him the responsibility of doing, and that is protecting our borders and protecting our citizens, to me that is outrageous. And I think we ought to celebrate a president like President Trump rather than denigrate this president, for doing everything he can to fulfill his God-given responsibility.
Defending Trump over a policy that has led to babies and young children being put in cages and warehouses where staff are not permitted to touch or hug them, Jeffress used one of the presidents favorite go-to lines on immigration, raising the specter of murderous gang members:
Yes, it is gut-wrenching to see these children separated from their parents at the border. The only thing more gut-wrenching is to see children like Kate Steinle separated from their parents forever because they were killed by illegal immigrants or MS-13 gang members.

1. Excuse me a minute...
2. Listen, you fucking asshole - Kate Steinle's murder was senseless, but that asshole in the White House abused this poor woman's family and exploited her death to stir America's deepest racist fears leading to the crisis we have right now. Go fuck yourself, asshole. And fuck Trump, too.
