Conservatives mock Trump’s spiritual advisor

When President Donald Trump announced the creation of the White House Faith Office on February 7, he appointed far-right evangelical pastor and televangelist Paula White as its leader. Rev. White is a longtime spiritual adviser to Trump, giving an inaugural invocation during his first presidential inauguration on January 20, 2017. And she claimed the 2020 election was stolen from Trump by "demonic forces."

White once equated defying Trump with defying God, and she is the target of brutal mockery in a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday, December 26 by Republicans Against Trump — not to be confused with the conservative Never Trump group formerly known as Republican Voters Against Trump. Organizers for that group, now called Republican Accountability (RA), have included Bill Kristol, Sarah Longwell, Tim Miller and other well-known conservative Trump opponents associated with The Bulwark.

The video shows a collage of White making over-the-top comments, including "Wherever I go, God rules. When I walk on White House grounds, God walks on White House grounds….. I had every right to declare the White House holy ground because I was standing there. And where I stand is holy."

One of the clips shows White saying, "To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God, and I won't do that." And White, in another clip, describes Trump's opponents as "demonic."

"Let every demonic network that has aligned itself against the purpose — against the calling of President Trump — let it be broken," White declares in that clips. "Let it be torn down in the name of Jesus."
