"We are fighting for all Americans and we are embracing the faith community," Trump told the crowd.  "When I ask for your support in 2016, Americans of faith were under assault. But the shameful attempt to suppress religious believers ended the day I took the oath of office."

Reed addressed critics of the president who say he doesn't exemplify Christian values, responding to a montage of media clips attacking the president's "shortcoming."

"They have become everything that they've accused us of being for decades, they are the ones who are condemning and judgmental. We are the ones who are forgiving and believing in redemption," Reed said.
