Evangelical Leader Rebukes Trump For "Disgraceful" Separation of Families At Border

From the article:

Franklin Graham, the son of famous evangelist Billy Graham, has been one of Trump’s strongest supporters since he announced he was running for president.
But now he has come out strongly against an administration policy which has been separating children from their parents at the US-Mexican border, calling it “disgraceful.”

Won't have to wait long. That, or he will never be seen on Fox News again, and the money will dry up.

What a sh*t this man is and you supported him.

The abuse of every one of those children is on you.

He's another "Trumpanista" running because the avalanche is about to take him with the rest of the lying, thieving, crooked, hypocritical
SOB's that hoped to ride IQ45's coattails to their own rich reward.
Yes, he's claiming the "suffer the little children to come unto me" part as a "Christian leader" (really, he expects people to believe this - oh, wait, we know they will!) - but, to cover his own a$$, he says, "And I blame the politicians for the last 20, 30 years....."

There 'ya go - it ain't IQ45 - it's ALL OF THE OTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, that's not from the Bible, it's from the playbook of Coach Trump!!!!!!!!

Hey Franklin - you're going down with the rest of them!!!!

This is from the article." While Graham has joined the growing chorus of those critical of this policy he said the blame lies elsewhere, with policies put in place by earlier administrations".

Surprised he didn't name Hillary or PRESIDENT OBAMA in his response - but then again, he's new into this "gotta' cover my own a$$ because IQ45 ain't gonna' help!

In his defense he very likely did not read the article or was so eager to post more of his “good news” that he did not understand it.

his support among evangelicals has grown.
I wonder if this will make a difference?

In fact the quotes in the article from Graham parrot both the Sessions “obey the law” and Trump “not my fault” talking points.

Did you bother to read the article or did you just ignore the content that didn’t fit your perspective?
