Franklin Graham Blasts Trump's Immigrant Family Separations At Border as "Disgraceful"

Franklin Graham Blasts Trump’s Immigrant Family Separations At Border
“It’s disgraceful, and it’s terrible to see families ripped apart and I don’t support that one bit,” the evangelist said.

Evangelist Franklin Graham, a staunch backer of President Donald Trump, has denounced a new Trump administration policy that separates immigrant parents from their children at the U.S. border.

“It’s disgraceful, and it’s terrible to see families ripped apart and I don’t support that one bit,” Graham, son of the famous evangelist Billy Graham, told the Christian Broadcasting Network on Tuesday.

“I blame politicians for the last 20, 30 years that have allowed this to escalate to the point where it is today,” Graham added. “We are a country of a laws, laws need to be obeyed, no question about that, but the situation we have today as a result of our lawmakers in Washington over generations ignoring this.”

So screwing around on his wife constantly was OK, getting sued and losing numerous times for fraud is OK, being a KKK sympathizer is OK, but this one thing is over the line. I am surprised he has the backbone to speak up since he's shown zero respect for biblical teachings when it comes to drumpf in the past. He'll probably apologize later today, he's such a weak tool and has no spiritual beliefs.

He is outraged, but not enough to directly place blame on the Trump administration.

on "politicians" and tried to separate himself from being a passive supporter of the evil. His response was complicit, and totally predictable for Franklin Graham.
