He has called the President 's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief ( PEPFAR ) &mdash; which allocated $ 15 billion to promote prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS and malaria in Africa &mdash; as " one of the great achievements of the George W. Bush administration . " Wehner was a " vocal critic of the Obama administration , " contending that President Barack Obama has " undermined America 's moral self-confidence . " He opposes the view that " the Sermon on the Mount is a political philosophy " and says that " often Christians make the mistake of assuming the words of Christ and the individual commands , or commands that apply to individuals , apply to governments as well . " Wehner has criticized the " tone and spirit " of Christian right leaders such as Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell , criticizing them for using " apocalyptic language " in the political arena and making " theological errors " ( such as blaming the September 11 attacks on abortion and the ACLU ) . Wehner has praised Rick Warren and Tim Keller , saying that their " mode of argumentation and mode of conversation " is better than that which " Falwell and Robertson embodied " because it is characterized by a willingness to engage with people of differing views , a " kind of civility and a certain high-mindedness , " and a " very solid , I think , philosophical as well as theological foundation . " Wehner argues that evangelicals ' " support for Trump comes at a high cost for Christian witness "
