Tina Campbell, 1/2 of Mary Mary, is defending her decision to vote for Donald Trump.
Back in January, Tina wrote an open letter encouraging everyone to support and pray for Donald — but she didn’t explicitly say she voted for him.
Now, in an interview with The Root, Tina says she voted for Donald because she felt his Christian values aligned with hers.
“I had a perspective. I had a feeling. And I put it out there. I know there’s some people who don’t agree. I do not agree with a lot of the decisions that this man makes. And I made that very clear in my statement.
“I was faced with two presidential candidates that I really did not approve of,” Campbell elaborated. “And so I had to find something, a commonality with one of them, that would make me feel like if I have to vote, I should utilize my right to vote. Since I don’t prefer either of them, what can I find that would make me vote? And some of Donald Trump’s views on Christianity, honestly, is what caused me to vote for him.
“Many of the decisions that he has made afterwards, I have not been in agreement with at all, which I wasn’t in agreement with my last president that I voted for,” she added. “But however, as a Christian, my perspective is to pray for the president, to not use my social platforms or other platforms to try to destroy this man, because at the end of the day, he still represents the country that I live in.
“So if I’m going to use my platform, my power, my voice, I ought to use it to pray for him. To pray that he would make wise decisions, that he would be true to the oath that he took, and to not incite fear by talking about everything that’s wrong, especially with people that’s my color,” she explained further.
Donald Trump? Christian values? Bye, Tina. ‘Thou shall grab them by the pussy‘ is nowhere in the bible.
