'He's not God': In the wake of porn-star allegations, most evangelicals stand by Trump

Washington • When news broke this month about President Donald Trump's alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels, it seemed the kind of story that would devastate a group of voters once known as the "Moral Majority."

But this is the Trump era, and for white evangelicals, the days since the Daniels report have offered proof that the president remains righteous to them in ways that matter far more.

Trump stood among antiabortion activists in the Rose Garden, where he praised the mission of March for Life participants on the Mall. His administration opened an office to protect health-care workers who refuse to provide services that run counter to their religious convictions.
