Trump Derangement Syndrome

Religions shouldn’t be considered responsible for the misdeeds of their followers, right? That has been the consistent establishment media line on Islam since 9/11, and before that, and it has been enshrined in public policy on both sides of the Atlantic and become axiomatic in the West’s approach to terrorism.

But wait. Issac Bailey is a columnist and a professor of Public Policy at Davidson College in North Carolina. He writes in Newsweek: “If Christianity can convince so many to follow a man like Trump almost worshipfully—or couldn’t at least help millions discern the unique threat Trump represented—what good is it really?” So now apparently the followers of a religion do reflect on the religion itself – if the religion is Christianity, and the evil follower is Donald Trump.

The Lincoln Project has pledged to appoint an outside investigator to probe claims that they knew about sexual misconduct allegations against co-founder John Weaver before he left the organization.

Weaver, 61, parted ways with the anti-Trump super-PAC last month following a report in The New York Times that he offered young men professional support in exchange for sex.

But on Thursday, the Associated Press reported that members of the organization’s leadership were informed in writing and in subsequent phone calls of at least 10 specific allegations of sexual harassment against Weaver as early as last June.
