Evangelicals and other faith leaders still support Trump after deadly US Capitol attack

Like millions of other Americans, Franklin Graham watched the disturbing images of last week's riots at the U.S. Capitol with swelling concern and anger.

Graham, son of the late evangelist Billy Graham and head of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said he was sickened to see "people attack my Capitol and break down the doors of my Capitol" and was dismayed to see how President Donald Trump riled up the protesters.

"I don't think it was the president's finest moment," he said.

"I don’t think he had any understanding in that moment of what was going to take place," he said. "None of us did."

Graham added, "He regrets it."

Fuck you Graham. I don't see any regret from Trump. If he was truly sorry he'd do the honorable thing and resign.

I think Christian adherents are down to @65% from the mid 90s 25 years ago. Trends are good.

They're not about to give up their sincerely held religious belief, that God put Trump into the office of president to implement God's will for the United States of America.
