You don’t congratulate someone who just robbed a bank (and other court evangelical news)

John Fea   |  December 16, 2020

Yesterday Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell finally acknowledged that Joe Biden was the “President-elect of the United States of America. He also warned GOP senators to stop contesting the election.

Meanwhile, House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy has not said a word.

Trump continues to raise millions on his election fraud claims through his Trump Make America Great Again Committee. 75% of the money he raises can be used for his own political activity, including rallies, travel, and supporting other candidates. In other words, Trump is is building the infrastructure of a shadow presidency.

So what are the court evangelicals saying today?

The Liberty University Falkirk Center crowd is still fighting:

Interesting tweet from a Trump-supporting “think tank.” Truth?:

As Christians, the truth is fundamental to all we do. The battles we face today are not simply political, they're battles for truth.

We're living in a society that's attempting to redefine these absolutes. Our duty is to defend the truth God has revealed to us.@Davidengelhardt pic.twitter.com/D7byCHgNd1

So far the Falkirk Center has yet to acknowledge Joe Biden as President-elect.

Liberty University Falkirk Center fellow Jenna Ellis is not going down without a fight:

Liberal media is the worst abyss of political sewage.

Meanwhile, true Patriots will continue to fight for what REALLY matters. 😊

America’s flame of liberty will NOT be extinguished! Not now, not ever! 🇺🇸

— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) December 16, 2020

But she also seems to have been less than truthful about how things ended at a previous job.

Ellis also retweeted Trump. “Tremendous evidence”:

Tremendous evidence pouring in on voter fraud. There has never been anything like this in our Country!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 15, 2020

She also retweeted Hershel Walker:

Democrats and Republicans want this country to heal but America can not heal until the truth is revealed.⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ ⁦@LLinWood⁩ @sidneypowell1 ⁦@RudyGiulianli⁩ ⁦@JennaEllisEsq⁩ ⁦@seanhannity⁩ pic.twitter.com/LjxKxU7NpL

And of course she is quoting scripture:

“I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 3:13-14 ❤️

Charlie Kirk criticized Mitch McConnell for congratulating Joe Biden:

— Jason Campbell (@JasonSCampbell) December 15, 2020

In this tweet, Kirk claims to care about “unity & healing”:

Joe Biden is planning on nominating Pete Buttigieg to his cabinet—the same Pete Buttigieg whose former staffers run the "Trump Accountability Project" which aims to target & blacklist Trump supporters

Is this what "unity & healing" is supposed to look like?

🤔

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) December 15, 2020

More on “congratulating” Joe Biden:

If Senate Republicans want to lose the Georgia races and their majority, conceding the presidential election to Joe Biden and congratulating Kamala Harris is a good place to start.

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) December 15, 2020

And in other court evangelical news:

Lance Wallnau believes Mitch McConnell is now part of the “deep state.” He says that God is doing an “autopsy” on this election and if evangelicals keep praying we will all see that Trump won.

Court evangelical journalist David Brody interviewed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the author of the recently dismissed Texas voter fraud lawsuit.

AG Ken Paxton says a cloud will always hang over any @JoeBiden victory. "We will never know whether these were legitimate ballots."

Jim Garlow is still holding “election integrity” prayer meetings.

Ralph Reed is rallying pastors in Georgia:

The people have spoken. The Electoral College voted. Who will be the first court evangelical to acknowledge publicly that Joe Biden is the next President of the United States?
