“If you’re a Catholic, you can’t vote for these people,” Trump said. “These people are a nightmare.”

“I don’t know what they have against Catholics, but Catholics are treated worse than everyone else,” he said. “The evangelists will be next, you can be sure of that.”

“But they are calling Catholics potential domestic terrorists,” he noted, referring to Richmond’s heavily scrutinized anti-Catholic Biden-Harris Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) memo.

“These people are sick,” he added. “Christians will not be safe as long as Kamala Harris is president of the United States.”

On the other hand, Trump told religious leaders attending the event that if he wins the presidential election in two weeks, he will “stop Kamala Harris’ weaponization of law enforcement against Americans of faith” once he is inaugurated.

To achieve this goal, the Republican candidate promised to immediately “create a new federal task force to combat anti-Christian bias.”

“I think it is very important for people in this room to know,” he stressed, “that Americans of faith do not pose a threat to our country. Faithful Americans are the soul of our country.”

“I’m here tonight to deliver a simple message to Christians across America,” Trump also said during his speech. “It’s time to stand up and save your country.”

After the audience erupted in prolonged applause and chants of “USA,” the former president added, “On November 5, Christian voters should turn out in the largest numbers ever.”

Trump noted that American Christians “have a reputation for not voting proportionately as they should.” He suggested that the hesitancy of many Catholics and non-Catholic Christians to go to the polls, as evidenced in previous election cycles, could be a “form of rebellion.”

In May, CatholicVote reported that “recruitment New York Times / Siena polls show that nearly one in five registered voters in six swing states, including many Catholics, did not vote in the 2020 presidential election.”

Trump went on to say that if more Christians had voted, “no one could ever beat us.”

“We need to tell Kamala Harris that we have had enough,” he stressed. “Kamala, you’re fired! Get out!!”

Trump also described how his “faith took on new meaning on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania,” when he narrowly survived an assassination attempt when a gunman’s bullet grazed his ear, drawing blood.

“I now realize that it was the hand of God that brought me to where I am today,” he told the audience, who responded with thunderous applause.

Trump said that after he was hit by gunfire, he was “knocked to the ground, essentially by some sort of supernatural hand.”

“I’d like to think that God saved me for a purpose—to make our country greater than ever before,” he added.
