From The Hill:
Country musician Lee Greenwood is defending the “God Bless the USA” Bibles he’s selling in partnership with former President Trump, who is set to go on trial next month over hush money payments made to an adult film star.
Trump shared a video to his Truth Social platform earlier this week to promote the Bibles he is selling with Greenwood, describing the Bible as his “favorite book.” In the days since, Trump has faced backlash for the partnership, with many pointing to post his scores of criminal charges as well as his history of hawking products from steaks to sneakers.
Greenwood dismissed the criticism in a Thursday interview with Newsmax’s Bianca de la Garza.
In the interview, Greenwood said he is “proud of the president for stepping forward and saying that he believes in God, he’s a Christian, and this nation still should be praying for our country.”
Responding to the criticism from liberals over Trump promoting the Bible, Greenwood said, “I think it’s just from the Trump haters. I don’t even believe people on the left hate religion. It’s just the Trump haters is all. And we’ve been promoting this Bible for over three years, so because the president has also asked the nation to pray and use that particular Bible.”
“I mean, he could have used any Bible at all, but because it has the documents of our Founding Fathers, I think that makes it unique,” he added.
