Strong hypocrisy there. It looks to me that the higher the office, the more is let slide. A, small town pastor would never be able to lead a congregation with allegations and history like Trump's. But, make the same guy a president and anything goes.

The other guy, Juan Williams, a layman when it comes to Bible doesn't agree that much, but what does he know since he wasn't called personally by god to interpret the Bible to the people.

By his fucked up logic, Since Saddam won a revolution in Iraq that gave his son's permission to pick any female off the street and rape them. This is just an argument to justify power, not morality.

It's just the same argument that the Democrats were using for supporting Bill Clinton when his sexual escapades were being revealed.  I thought he was a good president although I didn't agree with his sexual morality.  On the other hand, I thought Obama was a good family man, but I didn't agree with his political views.  I'd like to have the whole package, but I don't think we'll ever get that.

Democrats don't make the claim that they are privvy to the source of morality and goodness. Nor do they represent themselves as the standard of morality.

Anyway, citation needed.

You need a citation for Bill Clinton doing sexual stuff with women who weren't Hillary? I thought everyone knew about Monica by now. First part's a good point, though.

Given that their own god has a policy of "do as I say, not as I do", I suppose not.

I remember hypocrisy being talked about and presented as a problem within the church.  Didn't pay much attention to it at the time because I didn't think it applied to me.

More like 'fake news'
What a total misrepresentation of what the pastor said. He start off by saying they still believe in the no sex commandment. but we also believe in forgiveness, upon repentance. 
did you miss that part or simply not understand it?
