“Let me say this as charitably as I can,” Jeffress said in an interview published online Wednesday. “These ‘Never Trump’ evangelicals are morons. They are absolutely spineless morons, and they cannot admit that they were wrong.”

Jeffress said he doesn’t understand why evangelicals, many of whom are opposed to abortion, wouldn’t support Trump. Jeffress has often referred to Trump as “the most pro-life president in history.”

“This is an issue of life and death. This is so black and white, so much about good versus evil. I don’t get it,” Jeffress said. “It really goes to the core of who we are as a country and what kind of a country we have in the future, and if we can’t get this issue of life right, I just don’t know where we’re going to go down the road.”
