Trump winning and causing a civil war would be 'worth it': evangelical preacher
Whatever it takes to return Trump back to 1600 Pennsylvania — even if it meant a civil war — would be "worth it," according to one religious leader.
"I've actually had people say that if Trump was to be elected if we got a conservative Congress, that they fear that we would have another civil war," Andrew Wommack, a TV evangelical preacher, said during an episode of his "Truth & Liberty" show earlier this week, and first reported by Newsweek. "And you know what? I don't want a civil war, I don't know anybody that does, but would it be worth it? To turn this nation back? I believe it would."
Wommack is president of the Truth & Liberty Coalition, described online as an organization that seeks to "educate, unify, and mobilize believers to impact culture and effect godly change on important social issues."

As Nov. 5 creeps closer for the country to head to the polls and vote for the next president, the topic of another civil war appears to be growing.
"The Civil War has never really left American politics — it just seems to have exploded in this moment,” Tim Galsworthy, a historian at Bishop Grosseteste University told The Washington Post. “When the U.S. is divided, the Civil War becomes that great reference point, because it’s the ultimate moment of division.”
About 620,000 soldiers from both the Union and the Confederacy perished in the Civil War dating from 1861 to 1865.
Former President Donald Trump, the leader of the MAGA movement, has remained the frontrunner in the race to become the GOP nominee, with only former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley challenging him to attempt to cut President Joe Biden's time in the White House to one term.
Wommack's embrace of a bloody clash between Americans was prompted by a viewer dialing in and asking if there could be a "grace revolution that could get the U.S. to switch out the Constitution for the Bible."
The pastor said that the founders' document is fine as-is. It's those in positions of power that are asleep at the switch.
"There's nothing wrong with our Constitution, the problem is we're not following it," he said.
He then went on: "If they were still writing the Bible today, I believe that the American Constitution and the founding of this nation would be in scripture as one of the great things that God has done."
