Evangelical minister Ralph Drollinger leads weekly Bible studies that are frequently attended by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, and other members of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet, as well as dozens of members of Congress.
Such high-level visibility makes Drollinger a lightning rod for Trump criticism, but it usually doesn’t involve White House spokesmen, as happened earlier this week when deputy press secretary Judson Deere responded to an NBC reporter’s claim that the minister teaches that the CCP virus is linked to homosexuality and divine judgment of America.
