Michele Bachmann, who is a formal evangelical advisor to Donald Trump, tells The Brody File that Trump has "1950s sensibilities" and is "not ashamed of our Judeo-Christian underpinnings."
When it comes to his Christian faith, Bachmann gives her frank assessment.
"He doesn't pretend to really know a lot of the details and specifics about the Bible…all I know is that he was churched. He was brought up in a churched background, he respects and loves his church background and he's had interactions with Christians throughout his life and he is not opposed to Christianity," she said.
Our interview was done in Bachmann's Minnesota home. She sits on his evangelical advisory board, giving counsel to him on matters of faith and public policy.
Michele Bachmann: "He has 1950s sensibilities. By that I mean, he really does believe in a strong America because he grew up being proud of the United States, a 'John Wayne America' where today a lot of kids are taught unfortunately that the United States is an evil country and that somehow we've hurt the rest of the world. That's one of the biggest lies young people are being told. We have been a force for good.
"Trump gets it and the Judeo-Christian underpinnings of this country I think really came to the fore in the 1950s and were seen in the 1950s and he is not ashamed, Donald Trump is not ashamed of our Judeo-Christian underpinnings as a nation.
"He doesn't pretend to be anybody other than who he is so he doesn't pretend to really know a lot of the details and specifics about the Bible. He's a big businessman and that's what he is but he has respect…
"I'm not certifying what his faith is. All I know is that he was churched. He was brought up in a churched background, he respects and loves his church background and he's had interactions with Christians throughout his life and he is not opposed to Christianity."
