I think it is truly a shame that a man like him now represents the Religious Right and the rest of the Republican Party. I don't think the Republican Party can ever again honestly claim to be the political party of Christian morality and traditional family values. The devout Religious Right and the rest of the Republican Party spent the entire eight years of Bill Clinton's administration outraged and condemning him for being an adulterer and a womanizer. And here these conservatives are now supporting a man who could rival Bill Clinton in adulterous philandering and in other immoral behavior. Isn't it ironic that Bill Clinton's continuous sexual deviant behavior toward women was never once called "
locker room banter" or "
macho talk" by any of the conservatives who now support and defend Donald Trump?
Sadly, this sudden change of heart concerning the moral character of the President isn't limited to the layman within the Republican Party. It also affected the most prominent Evangelical leaders as well.
For example...
James Dobson:
James Dobson condemning Bill Clinton in 1998: "Character does matter. You can't run a family, let alone a country without it. How foolish to believe that a person who lacks honesty and moral integrity is qualified to lead a nation and the world."

What James Dobson Said in 1998 About Moral Character and the Presidency
James Dobson endorsing Trump in 2016: "I’m not under any illusions that he is an outstanding moral example. It’s a cliché but true: We are electing a commander-in-chief, not a theologian-in-chief.”

I’m an evangelical. The religious right leaders who support Trump don’t speak for me.
Franklin Graham:
Franklin Graham condemning Bill Clinton in 1998: "Bill Clinton's months-long extramarital sexual behavior in the Oval Office now concerns him and the rest of the world, not just his immediate family. If he will lie to or mislead his wife and daughter, those with whom he is most intimate, what will prevent him from doing the same to the American public?"

What Franklin Graham Said About the “Private Sins” of Bill Clinton in 1998
Franklin Graham defending Donald Trump in 2018: “I think some of these things — that’s for him and his wife to deal with. I think when the country went after President Clinton, the Republicans, that was a great mistake that should never have happened. And I think the same with Stormy Daniels and so forth is nobody’s business. And we’ve got other business at hand that we need to deal with.”
