Evangelical women publicly condemned Christian leaders who defended Trump

Evidence

Some evangelical women were also vocal critics of Trump. The day after the tape was released, Beth Moore, beloved author of popular women’s Bible studies, expressed her horror at Christian leaders who seemed to think objectification and abuse of women was no big deal. Jen Hatmaker, a best-selling author, blogger, pastor, and all-around “avatar of the New Christian Woman,” castigated evangelical men who defended Trump: “We will not forget. Nor will we forget the Christian leaders that betrayed their sisters in Christ for power.” Christian talk-show host Julie Roys agreed: “I honestly don’t know what makes me more sick. Listening to Trump brag about groping women or listening to my fellow Evangelicals defend him.” — Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Jesus and John Wayne, 599
