Earlier we reported that A.R. Bernard, pastor of the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn, has resigned as an evangelical adviser to Donald Trump.
Shortly after our post, Bernard went on Don Lemon’s show on CNN to talk about his resignation. No video yet. I will post it tomorrow.
In the meantime, here are my tweets.
Lemon calls Bernard’s resignation a “sea change.” Wouldn’t go that far. He was the first one I thought would bolt. #courtevangelicals #cnn

Bernard thought Trump would change. He didn’t. Says he has no core values & lacks leadership. #cnn @cnn @donlemon https://t.co/T9EzTaO40v

Bernard: I thought I could bring change as a “#courtevangelical ” but I have “changed my thinking.” #cnn @cnn #courtevangelicals

Bernard: The “board” was never close enough to Trump to make any real change. I wanted more than a photo-op. #courtevangelicals #cnn @cnn

Bernard: I wish the other members of evangelical council would repudiate Trump’s moral equivalence. #cnn @cnn #courtevangelicals

Bernard: Trump does not have the kind of moral character that I can support. #courtevangelicals @donlemon #cnn @cnn https://t.co/T9EzTaO40v
