National Association of Evangelicals: "Give Mr. Hastert A Break"
Richard Cizic, the vice president for governmental affairs for the National Association of Evangelicals
Ted Haggard's sidekick, Richard Cizic, finally addressed Foleygate on NPR. Turns out, the leaders of the largest coalition of evangelicals in America, the NAE, are willing to give Hastert "a break." Evidently, being the key player in the cover-up of a sexual predator is no big deal:
"I give Mr. Hastert a break here and say he did what he probably should have done."
Cizic went on to say that only a "small percentage" of evangelicals will be "turned off" to the GOP by the scandal.
"There are other issues that will impact their vote, but I'm not sure this one will"
Haggard calls the NAE “the representative of evangelicalism worldwide." Let's hope not.
