A new bipartisan Christian super PAC is taking on President Donald Trump with a new ad that accuses him of hypocrisy when it comes to matters of faith.
Mr. President, the days of using our faith for your benefit are over, the ad from Not Our Faith warns. We know you need the support of Christians like us to win this election. But you cant have it.
The spot also accuses Trump of using Christianity for his own purposes, and shows footage of his Bible-toting photo op in front of St. Johns Episcopal Church, across from the White House, after having peaceful protesters teargassed to clear the area for him.
Not Our Faiths advisory council includes Michael Wear, a faith adviser to former President Barack Obamas 2012 reelection campaign, and Autumn Vandehei, who was an aide to former Rep. Tom Delay (R-Texas), The Associated Press reported. The group is launching a six-figure TV and digital ad campaign targeting Christians, especially evangelical and Catholic voters.

It seemed that many churches were using Trump for their own benefit as well.
