Televangelist Paula White-Cain stoked a firestorm of backlash for likening President Donald Trump to Jesus Christ during a private Easter lunch at the White House with other Christian leaders on Wednesday.In remarks that repeatedly implied she had received special revelation from the Holy Spirit, White-Cain claimed God told her to tell Trump how thankful she is for him, according to footage of the ceremony that was uploaded by the White House to YouTube before being taken down.
"I felt like I was conveying the heart of God for all of us, that we are thankful for the greatest champion of faith that we've ever seen in a president. And we honor you because of your bold, unwavering conviction and stand for religious liberty, here in America and around the world," she said.
After claiming Trump made it possible to worship God in the United States again, White-Cain said "the strength of a nation is through Almighty God" before attributing Trump's victories both to God and to him.
"But the truth of it is, you are here because of God and because of you," she told Trump, who quietly thanked her as Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Dallas, patted his arm and said, "Amen, that is so true."
