Billy Graham's Grandchildren Come Out In Defense Of Christianity Today. Trump's Removal "Courageous"

Billy Graham’s Grandchildren Come Out In Defense Of Christianity Today, Said Editorial Call For Trump’s Removal Is “Courageous”

Donald Trump appeared to find validation for his bizarre attack on Christianity Today, a magazine that was founded by the late legendary pastor Billy Graham. Trump touted right-wing pastor Franklin Graham over his Facebook post to denounce the very magazine his father founded. CT, the largest evangelical magazine that Trump mistakenly referred to as “ET” as he lashed out at the publication, called for the “president’s” removal from office in a scathing op-ed. The news was so huge that it crashed Christianity Today’s website.

Franklin Graham, — a homophobe and an Islamophobe — may have come to Trump’s rescue but Billy Graham’s grandchildren do not approve of this “president” and backed the publication’s call for his removal.

Billy Graham’s granddaughter said the evangelical Christian magazine’s call for Trump to be removed from office was “courageous.” Jerushah Duford said she disagrees with her uncle Franklin Graham, who took to Facebook to tear into the publication.

“My grandfather always said courage is contagious,” she said. “My hope is that an article like this will be a first step for people to actually stand up.” She went on to say that the good Trump has done, like his anti-choice stance, does not seem to outweigh the bad he’s done.

he did get invited to JFK's inauguration. Someone in the Kennedy family must have seen something redeemable in the creep.

Reminds me of Andy Griffith's movie "A Face in the Crowd". I'm hoping life will imitate art before it's too late to save our planet and our souls.

The Dems have had it out for Trump since day 1. Ok, who started the Comey investigation and who appointed Mueller? The intelligence agencies were investigating this even before the election. Then on day 1, Trump applies the Muslim ban, which should be illegal and is certainly anti-American. The Dems need to rebut this BS, but why does CT feel the need to give Trump the BS meme any credit?

Same goes for their saying, well yes, the house trial was not fair, but... Sorry, Trump has had every chance in the world to put up a defense, but all he’s doing is the Ali rope-a-dope and saying no fair, Foreman’s punching me.
