      As a political matter, you could defend Franklin Graham's various choices. And hypocrisy doesn't make everything he's said over the years untrue. But @DavidAFrench makes a powerful case that Graham has failed at keeping the faith in public life.https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/04/franklin-graham-and-the-high-cost-of-the-lost-evangelical-witness/ …

      The first rule for Christians - or really, for anyone - in supporting Trump should be, "say nothing false or contemptible." Either candidly square your support for Trump with your principles, or don't support him. Don't duck the issue by pretending up is down.

          I don't care about anyone's morality. And one's morality certainly doesn't come from a president. That's a distorted view created by pundits trying to remain relevant.

          The first rule of Christians is to acknowledge that we are all broken and wretched people. All of us are sinful (including religious leaders and politicians). Therefore dont browbeat anyone for their sins without acknowledging your own. (which opens up the hypocrisy argument).

          I've lost confidence in French to articulate the relationship between Trump and evangelicals in anything but the #NeverTrump perspective. Using Graham's comments on Mayor Pete and to somehow assign to Trump is a familiar tact. Moreover, (1)

          "Say nothing false or contemptible" should also be the first rule of opposing Trump, by the way.

          By this standard, no Christian would ever be able to vote in an election because no politician is ultimately going to match their principles, no matter what they say or pretend. You can both believe that Trump is not a good person and also the Dem is a worse choice.

          Trump was as wrong as a homosexual in his adulterous acts. The difference for Graham and me/others is that Trump is not an activist for adultery. If Buttigieg put away his sexual behavior, instead of proclaiming it as virtuous, we evangels would cheer him.
