Franklin Graham asks public to pray for Trump over impeachment probe

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Evangelical leader Franklin Graham is urging the public to pray for President Trump as the House impeachment inquiry moves into a new phase.

Graham, an outspoken Trump ally, took to Twitter on Thursday, calling it a "sad day for America" after the House passed a resolution laying out the procedures for the next phase of its impeachment inquiry.

"Our politics in this country has hit a new low," he said, asserting that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Democratic lawmakers had "weaponized the impeachment process."

"This is just another attempt to tarnish and embarrass @POTUS @realDonaldTrump before the next election," he wrote. "Pray for President Trump today, for God to give him wisdom, protection, & that God would guide each & every step he takes."

I'll pray that he gets motivated to resign.

1. I've been praying every day since he got elected

Praying that he doesn't destroy the country before his time in office ends.

[Mike Nelson]

2. Pray for his health...

... so he can serve a full prison term.

[yonder]

12. Amen to that.

A long life, healthy or not and behind bars or otherwise made to see the errors of his ways.

[albacore]

19. If he croaked while in office, I don't think I could survive a State Funeral.

Somebody would say something nice about him, and my head would explode!

[NightWatcher]

3. Oh Invisible Nothing in the sky, please use your magic to....

I don't think it will help him.

[Maeve]

5. If ever there was a phony christian....

wait...doesn't the antichrist get his own false prophet?

[roamer65]

14. If the Antichrist persecutes ilk like Graham, I am all in with his or her agenda.

6. Trump doesn't need gawd.

He's got Putin.

7. Pray for God to make him trip over his tie and fall head first into the toilet

8. I am. I'm praying that he gets impeached and the sooner, the better.

[Miigwech]

9. Pray for money, pray for cash

... the same BS that all of these leaders of the christian fundies pray for, in the end. What a sack of corrupt money changers in the temple ... stage left, enter Christ to clean up the corruption of his teachings.

[CatMor]

10. Trump embarrasses himself ....

every time he opens his mouth or tweets, the Democrats don't have to do it for him. Graham should pray for something worthwhile instead of that sham of a so called president.

11. It's amusing how white men try to reframe justice when it's directed at them.

"Weaponize impeachment" or "Soviet Union process" or "coup" or "political lynching."

Really, fellas? Just show some backbone and take your medicine.

[roamer65]

13. The sad day for America is that you are still sucking in oxygen, Graham.

You can shove your prayer and your Trump right up your ass.

[RKP5637]

15. Ha, yeah, I'll get right on that! n/t

16. BILLY GRAHAM is turning over in his grave. Franklin Graham is a horrible man.

[NurseJackie]

17. He's a "Gemstone"

[SWBTATTReg]

18. He needs to stick w/ his pool boy and not the religion business, since he's ruined his father's ...

reputation...
