Republican lawmakers at this year's Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Atlanta offered prayers to President Donald Trump as he fights off a COVID-19 infection, and many attendees say he is the only candidate 'defending religion' in America.
"We know we are all praying for a speedy recovery," said Blackburn, in reference to Trump's preparations for the final stretch of the 2020 presidential campaign.
Pastor Jentezen Franklin of the Free Chapel in Gainesville, Florida, was among the speakers praising Trump for"defending religion," which he described as the top issue facing the country. "This president and this time religious freedom is the number one issue, I believe, and to have a president who has our back, to have a president who considers the church essential, to have a president who is not ashamed of prayer and who welcomes faith back in America. He knows that to make America great we have to have God and make God great in America again."
"Christianity will survive without America, but America will not survive without Christianity, the thing that has made us great is our faith in God, that's why this gathering is so important. It's not just about freedom, we understand the freedom is based in our faith," Franklin added in an interview with OAN Sunday.
