Curious. How is his partisanship for Trump pure and Christianity Today's possible partisanship impure? Would a Evangelical magazine that is well-aware of the huge support for the president by Evangelicals take such a risk that might jeopardize its readership for no reason? This had to be a hard choice with protracted discussions. Christianity Today essentially put their head on the chopping block to run that editorial.

Billy Graham's Son Says It's 'Unfathomable' Christianity Today Would Side With Democrats in 'Totally Partisan' Attack on Trump

Evangelist Billy Graham's son, Franklin Graham, said his father would have not agreed with the Christianity Today editorial that supported President Donald Trump's removal from office, adding that it was unbecoming of the magazine.

"For Christianity Today to side with the Democrat Party in a totally partisan attack on the President of the United States is unfathomable," Graham said in a Facebook post on Friday morning.

On Thursday, Christianity Today, an evangelical Christian magazine, published an editorial that said the positive aspects of Trump's presidency didn't outweigh the "moral and political danger" that comes with a leader of "such grossly immoral character." It urged those evangelicals who align with Trump to consider how their support impacts their credibility when it comes to discussing "justice and righteousness" in terms of Christian beliefs, including a******n.

The "typical approach" for the magazine was to stay "above the fray" of politics, editor in chief Mark Galli wrote in the editorial, but in certain instances, such as the impeachment of the president, the magazine had to make its opinions clear. Sharing that opinion with "conviction and love," he wrote, was a move Billy Graham, who founded the magazine in 1956, encouraged them to do.

n the Facebook post, Franklin Graham justified his response because his father was mentioned in the piece. Although his father founded the magazine, Franklin said, he wouldn't have agreed with the piece.

His father, who died in February 2018, Franklin said, v**ed for Trump during the 2016 e******n and believed he was the "man for this hour in history for our nation." He argued Trump's impeachment was politically motivated and "100 percent partisan," and the editorial showed the magazine was being used to promote the Democrats' political agenda.

"Why would Christianity Today choose to take the side of the Democrat left whose only goal is to discredit and smear the name of a sitting president?" Franklin wrote in the post. "...It's obvious that Christianity Today has moved to the left and is representing the elitist liberal wing of evangelicalism."

Graham is a pathetic joke masquerading as a man of God when in reality he worships only the i***t Pumpkinfuhrer and the money he fleeces from his half bright followers.
