To all those fawning over the Christianity Today article [View all]

Does no one have a problem with this gratuitous lie and slur that heads the article?:

“Let’s grant this to the president: The Democrats have had it out for him from day one, and therefore nearly everything they do is under a cloud of partisan suspicion. This has led many to suspect not only motives but facts in these recent impeachment hearings. And, no, Mr. Trump did not have a serious opportunity to offer his side of the story in the House hearings on impeachment.”

Absolute bullshit on every level.

Fuck them.
