Democrat U.S. Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware recently revealed that he prays for Republican President Donald Trump and does not consider him to be “my enemy.”
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church of Washington, D.C. hosted an event on Monday titled “Living Out One's Faith in Difficult Times: An Evening with Senator Chris Coons.”
During his remarks, Coons, who has served in the Senate since 2010, said he received mixed reactions when he prayed with Trump on stage during the 2017 National Prayer Breakfast in Washington.
“I said, ‘Mr. President, would you please stand with me? I want to pray for you,’” Coons recounted, when talking about the risks that one takes in faith. “Now why is that a risk at all?”
“And to the hundreds who called and texted and complained about what I did, I said ‘what part of pray for your enemies did you not understand?’ And he is not my enemy.”
“How many of us pray for Donald Trump every day? Anybody?” Coons asked his audience, with the senator raising his own hand while asking. “Joe Biden said ‘you can’t just love your country when you’re winning.’”
