"I believe it starts with the fact that he's a Bible-believing Christian and that they have a Progressive agenda that they want to push. They are trying to re-define Biblical Christianity. They are trying promote to this cultural Christianity," Mike told Fox News host Todd Starnes during an appearance on his radio show.
"This idea that people can twist Scripture and fit it into their lives, and not fit their lives to fit God's Word."
They've created a narrative to point him toward the hot topics that they want -- evil, pathological liar, misogamist, this controlling guy, all of these things," Mike claimed.
"All season long, they have manipulated conversations. They have showed things, they have left conversations out that would leave viewers to believe that he is the guy that they say he is -- this 'Luke P. character.' When in reality, the show didn't go down the way that they are showing it."
Mike also appeared to take a shot at Hannah in the interview.
"When someone says, 'Hey, this is what I believe,' and they don't base it on what the Bible says, then they are not believing in the same God that I believe," she said.
