“The Nightly Show” urged evangelical voters to see through Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s religious pandering on Tuesday night’s episode.
“If Trump and God have a great relationship, it’s probably because they never see each other,” host Larry Wilmore said.
Wilmore then got up from his desk to preach to his audience.
“What man of God can’t name a Bible verse?” Wilmore said.
“What I challenge you to do, evangelicals, is smite down Donald Trump’s campaign. Smite it down,” Wilmore continued.

I love Larry, but this does get at what I think will be a major Cruz talking point about Trump: he’s a religious fake, and he, Rafael Edward Cruz, is the deserving recipient of the votes of American evangelicals. This is going to expose the rampant religious hypocrisy that’s at the heart of today’s Republican Party.
