From the publisher of Baptist News:
To understand the insidious nature of Christian nationalism, look no further than Franklin Graham’s appearance at the Republican National Convention last night. Graham already has demonstrated he knows no shame in endorsing, blessing and lionizing the most corrupt president in American history, yet people continue to send his nonprofits millions of dollars, enriching him as one of our most highly paid partisan preachers.
“For as long as I’ve known President Trump, I’ve found him to be a man of his word,” he declared. Apparently Graham hasn’t listened to any of the small-business owners who have been jilted by Trump through the years, hasn’t listened to any of the women who say Trump assaulted them, hasn’t paid attention to the hundreds of documented lies Trump spews between breakfast and dinner each day.
No, it turns out Graham has some other measure in mind: “When he told me and our country in 2016 that he was going to appoint conservative justices, guess what, he did. In 2016, he said he would defend religious liberty and, guess what, he did.” By “religious liberty,” of course, Graham means the liberty of evangelicals like him, not the liberty of all people.
Read the full rant. It does go on.
Franklin Graham is the poster child for Christian nationalism — and he’s a liar https://t.co/wJPx5BFt2K
