Reading that title you would assume that 4 in 5 white evangelicals voted for Trump, but later in the article they admit that they are only referring to those who voted. It could be that 2 out of 5 white evangelicals voted for trump 1 in five voted for Clinton, and 2 out of 5 didn't vote for either.
That is hugely different. He makes it sound like he is speaking to 80% of white envagelicals when in reality it is less than 40%.
Also, when you consider that White Evangelicals probably more than 50% Republican, in fact it would be difficult to imagine more than 20-30% of them being for Clinton based on some of the policies, this is even more disingenuous. What the election really showed is that many Evangelicals didn't vote for either one, which is an exercise of the conscience.
It also doesn't make sense, you want to claim the high moral ground as a reason to not vote for Trump, but why would that be a reason to vote for Clinton?
Just another idiot trying to be deceitful.
