Lindsey Graham on Trump holding the bible: "I guess he's trying to say we're reclaiming the church"

Lindsey Graham said: “Well I don't know what the point was” of the photo-op. "I guess he's trying to say we're reclaiming the church. But the point is that we need to focus on what happened to Mr. Floyd, it's a systematic problem, but you can't do that until you get order."

I suppose you could ask him, Senator. It's not like Trump talks to hoi polloi despite all his citations to people calling him and coming up to him to tell him what a great job he's doing; you know, things that never happened, but that you've chosen to believe anyway.

They've been hijacked by theocrats and money worshippers. The people who believe in peace, love, and redemption are not leading the denominations
