Just further confirmation that the Bible can be used by anyone to justify whatever intolerant and fascist agenda they have.

As if atheists and leftists understand Christian conservatives... when every study shows they don't. 9_9
Most conservatives didn't know who Paula White was.

While there is no formal polling data detailing exact numbers, the vast majority of mainstream political and religious conservatives did not know who Paula White was before she aligned with Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and subsequent administration.
Her pre-Trump fame was highly concentrated within a specific religious subculture rather than the broader conservative movement.

Paula White's introduction to the broader conservative landscape was engineered entirely by Donald Trump himself. Trump discovered her on television in 2002, struck up a multi-decade friendship, and eventually appointed her to chair his Evangelical Advisory Board during the 2016 campaign.
When she delivered the invocation prayer at Trump’s 2017 inauguration—becoming the first female clergy member to do so—it served as the official introduction of Paula White to the mainstream American conservative public.

IOW, this is just cope.

Right..she was only a prominent celebrity of the evangelical kooks and became instrumental in solidifying Trump with the broader Christian right only later, exactly as the video said.

Yep..she was only well-known to the Christian right before that. Hence the OP "How Trump won the religious right."

Just continues to show how little you understand Christians. "Prosperity Gospel" only accounts for about 5% of US Christians, and most Christians mock or reject things like prosperity theology and TBN. But then, you were raised in a fringe denomination, so you have a distorted view.

Didn't even mention a "Prosperity Gospel" dumbass..

Let's try this again:

You didn't have to mention it. Paula White preaches prosperity theology... thus that's her audience.
Just another case of you not knowing what you're talking about. 9_9
