What have Trump’s evangelicals been saying since yesterday’s update?
Jentezen Franklin’s church made breakfast for the police:
It was a privilege to serve our Police Department today. Because of the generosity of @freechapel, we made breakfast for local Police Departments & invited officers to drive through on their way to work. Join us as we pray for racial justice hand in hand with law and order. pic.twitter.com/ST2mle53sT

In our current context, this tweet from Paula White takes on new meaning:
Life goes on .. And you should too! Don’t let the pain of yesterday stop the promise of tomorrow – https://t.co/uIi8cYzFPV

Here is Eric Metaxas today on his Facebook page:
Murder has always been illegal in America. What’s new is the demonization of all cops because of the vile crimes of men like Chauvin. It’s preciesely like when Americans spat on returning Vietnam vets & called them “baby killers.” It was DEEPLY shameful and wrong then & this is deeply shameful and wrong NOW. So let’s have the courage THIS time to denounce it while it’s happening — NOW — and not two decades later.
The facts are not the issue. The issue is Metaxas’s defensiveness and his unwillingness to use his platform to address larger issues of systemic and institutional racism in our society.
Here is Charlie Kirk:
HBO removing Gone With The Wind is just another part of the left’s sinister plot to erase American culture
Did you know—the first black American to win an Oscar was Hattie McDaniel for her role in Gone With The Wind
But the left doesn’t care.
They just want to see it all burn.

Let’s also remember that Hattie McDaniel was not permitted to attend the premiere of Gone With the Wind, had her face removed from all advertising for the film, and sat at a segregated table for two in the back of the room during the 1940 Academy Awards ceremony. She was only permitted to attend the ceremony because someone owed someone a favor.
Liberty University’ Falkirk Center, whose co-founder Jerry Falwell has his own problems related to racism, is turning to Diamond & Silk:
You won’t hear a word from the BLM organization about the genocide on black Americans through the evil of abortion. In fact, they’ll champion abortion as something they want to be made more accessible to women, even though abortion is the number one killer of black Americans! pic.twitter.com/JVRljCMTvr

So far we have heard no condemnation or comment from the court evangelicals about this tweet:
Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?
