It’s not as if more than 2 people stuck at an airport watched it, but on CNN, American hating Fareed Zakaria decided to blame Conservative “Christians” for all the problems in Latin America, especially Venezuela. Of course, like the other BS CNN and Zakaria regularly spew, he has the fact completely backwards. The problems in Latin America have nothing to do with “Christians” or Conservatives. The problem stems from socialist communists who have taken Latin America from being a place of vast resources and turned it into a socialist shithole. You elect socialists and communists (or Democrats) this is what happens.
| CNN: Conservative Christians ruining Latin America |

The CNN host cited polling finding that the percentage of Latin Americans who are Protestants has grown substantially since the 1970s, and then noted that they are similar to evangelical Christians in the U.S. He lamented: “On gay rights and gender identity, they are conservative, even reactionary. So the growth of evangelical churches has awakened a culture war in the region.”
He then noted that, in Brazil, a “strong evangelical lobby backed a far-right president.” Zakaria then complained: “On his first day in office, (President Jair) Bolsonaro removed LGBT issues from the purview of the Human Rights Ministry.” He further complained that the president’s “evangelical supporters are advocating a bill that would require people to use bathrooms according to their biological sex.”
The CNN host then shifted to bemoaning efforts by evangelicals and Catholics in Argentina to protect unborn babies: “And religion is mixing with politics beyond Brazil. Evangelicals in Argentina along with Catholics mobilized to fight against a proposed law that would legalize abortion.”
He concluded: “But this is an identity politics not rooted in ethnicity, but evangelical Christianity, fired by discomfort in modern open diverse societies. And it could derail one of the great narratives of progress in the developing world.”
