SWING VOTERS
Why Catholics Crucified Clinton
Polls predicted that American Catholics were evenly split between Trump and Clinton, but they voted strongly against abortion and insurance-sponsored contraception.
Barbie Latza Nadeau

For weeks before the shocking election that vaulted Donald Trump to the highest job in the land over Hillary Clinton, pollsters had warned that American Catholics, who make up 25 percent of the electorate, were strictly divided.

Some, they said, favored Trump for his anti-abortion comments. Others said Catholics would side with Clinton out of respect for Pope Francis who famously dissed Trump for his comments about building walls. “Building walls instead of bridges is not Christian,” he said on the flight back to Rome from Mexico earlier this year. “This is not in the Gospel.”

"Michael Matt, editor of ultra-conservative Catholic rag The Remnant, put it like this: “These wretched human beings spend 24/7 ramming their pro-sodomy, pro-abortion, pro-perversion agenda down the throats of the American people,” he wrote when Trump’s now-famous tour bus locker room banter tape was released."

“And now here they are pretending to faint away in horror over Donald Trump’s potty-mouthed locker-room banter eleven years ago. These same charlatans screaming for Donald Trump’s head today, spent the last year demanding that men be given the right to use girls’ showers and restrooms all over America. This moral indignation coming from the morally bankrupt is just a wee bit over the top. And it’s all about one thing, of course: Getting Grandma Clinton back in the White House.”
