Some Court Evangelicals Break Ranks on Trump’s Immigration Policy

John Fea   |  June 15, 2018

The Trump administration is separating children from parents at the Mexican border.  Attorney General Jeff Sessions says that Romans 13 justifies the policy, but court evangelical Franklin Graham calls the policy “disgraceful.”  Another court evangelical, Samuel Rodriguez, also opposes the policy.  Learn more from this piece at CBN news.

I am now waiting for the following evangelical leaders to stand-up to Donald Trump’s immigration policy:

Robert Jeffress has said nothing.  Yet he has wished Trump a Happy Birthday and thanked him for being such a great POTUS:

Happy Birthday, President @realDonaldTrump! What you have accomplished for our country after 500 days in office is unprecedented. Tens of millions of Americans are praying for you and thanking God you are our president.

— Dr. Robert Jeffress (@robertjeffress) June 14, 2018

Jerry Falwell Jr. has said nothing.  If he tweeted something today I can’t see it.  He blocked me a long time ago.

Paula White has said nothing.  But she is tweeting:

Lord, uproot every seed of doubt the enemy planted to discourage your children!! In the name of Jesus!

— Paula White-Cain (@Paula_White) June 11, 2018

Love will heal your heart!!

— Paula White-Cain (@Paula_White) June 11, 2018

Eric Metaxas:  I don’t know what he is saying on this issue.  I am blocked.

Johnnie Moore:  He seems more focused on Trump’s meeting with North Korea”

Awakened in Washington to the sunrise of peace emerging on the global horizon.

More work to do but every reason in the world for optimism, for hope.

Bravo, Mr. President (@POTUS). pic.twitter.com/nLQ1AqG6Ge

Mark Burns is being a good court evangelical:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY President @realDonaldTrump THANK you for MAKING & KEEPING AMERICAN GREAT. #MAGA #KAG pic.twitter.com/X7zycDYoKl

James Dobson, the champion of “family values” has an interesting tweet today:

Dear God, no matter what our family circumstances, let us never waver from our charge as parents. Help us to be worthy of Your trust in us to lead and love our kids. Amen.

— Dr. James Dobson (@DrJamesCDobson) June 14, 2018

Ronnie Floyd seems to be running a prayer sweepstakes:

Would you like Jeana and me to pray for you in the Garden of Gethsemane? Find out how to submit your request: https://t.co/PnaxzY1cBF

Richard Land: Silent

Greg Laurie is focused on a big rally in Dallas and Trump’s meeting with the North Koreans:

Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump for a successful beginning to the denuclearization of North Korea.
An answer to prayer!

— Greg Laurie (@greglaurie) June 12, 2018

Tony Perkins, another champion of family values, has said nothing about the fact that Trump is ripping families apart at the border. Do “family values” only apply to white families? Middle-class families?

But he does love Trump:

.@LindseyGrahamSC: President Trump has done more in 500 days than every president before him in 30 years. #SingaporeSummit https://t.co/GQRxytSfBP
