Trump being outed as a pedophile won’t even remotely shake the support of the religious right.

They already sold their souls on the altar of a golden calf. They’re too proud to admit it.

No they're fanatical. He could be doing it right in front of them and they'll give the "god works through imperfect vessels" line

They built a literal golden idol of trump at CPAC a couple years ago. They've traded God for trump.

Golden calf is such a perfect metaphor.

The religious right prefers their leadership to be child molesters. There's like no other conclusion that can be drawn from how they protect priests who do so.

I mean... the Christian church is probably the largest organization of pedophiles.

Its global, it's stuffed to the gills with pedophile priests and pastors etc.

Which one organization could have more than them?
