Summary
Trump said the WHCD shooter hated Christians. But when you actually read the manifesto, he cited the Bible, mentioning passages from Matthew. Mark. Luke. He thanked his church. He used Christian theology to justify trying to kill Trump officials. So was Trump wrong? Here's the thing: I don't think he was. And the reason WHY tells you everything about where the Left has taken Christianity in this country.

| 0:00.0 | So immediately following the shooting of the White House Correspondents' dinner, President Trump sat down and conducted an interview where he described the shooter as being anti-Christian. |
| 0:11.6 | The thing is, is when you look at the shooter's manifesto, he actually quotes scripture several times as well as thanking his church. |
| 0:18.5 | And so the question is, was this guy anti-Christian or was he something else? |
| 0:23.5 | And why would Donald Trump make that claim? We're going to go into all this here today. |
| 0:28.4 | By the way, I also want to apologize. We just moved and still getting things set up. So it's a little echoing here. |
| 0:34.0 | Apologize. We'll try to get that fixed as soon as possible. All right, let's go ahead and jump right into it. |
| 0:38.6 | So, quick recap, Cole Allen, you know, was a Caltech educated teacher, software developer, video game maker. |
| 0:48.7 | He arrives at the White House correspondence dinner with a knife with several firearms, and his intention was to kill Trump |
| 0:55.6 | administration officials, potentially Trump himself. In the process of doing this, he shot one |
| 1:03.3 | agent in the chest, hit his body armor, he appears to be doing okay, or hit his vest. He apparently |
| 1:10.0 | is doing all right. And now they've taken Cole Allen. They've looked at his manifest armor, he appears to be doing it. Or hit his vest. He apparently is doing all right. |
| 1:11.9 | And now they've taken Cole Allen. |
| 1:13.6 | They've looked at his manifesto, which he sent off to his family. |
| 1:17.2 | His family had actually reported this to the Connecticut police. |
| 1:21.2 | But obviously, that wasn't enough to stop him before he went down there and attempted to carry out this assassination attempt. |
| 1:35.5 | In his manifesto, he cites Matthew, he cites Mark, he cites Luke, he argues that it's actually his Christian duty to resist Trump. His logic is that turning the other cheek when someone else |
| 1:42.2 | is being oppressed is not Christian behavior. |
| 1:45.1 | That's I would argue that there's there's truth to that. Like I don't if if somebody's hurting my |
| 1:49.4 | family, I don't have to turn the other cheek, right? I actually have to step in and intervene and |
| 1:53.5 | take care of my family. He also says this is part's kind of bizarre. He says that Trump is not |
| 1:59.2 | Caesar, therefore render unto Caesar |
| 2:02.3 | doesn't apply. Therefore, violence is theologically justified. This is just bizarre. When the Pharisees |
