If you live in Alabama, understanding the mindset of a Trump supporter is not difficult. Odds are, you are one. But the national media just can’t seem to grasp the idea that educated, talented and even intelligent folks continue to choose to support the President.

Wednesday, on Birmingham’s Superstation 101 WYDE’s “The Line,” Breitbart.tv editor and Yellowhammer News contributor Jeff Poor joined hosts Jessica Borklund and Andrew McLain to chat about a recent article in the Washington Post featuring the good people of Luverne, Alabama.

In response to the piece, Poor writes, “The media assume that when people vote for a president, they’re looking for a Christ-like spiritual leader. They’re not. They’re looking for someone to defend their right to practice their religion without interference from government.”
