Trump’s evangelicals have a few things to say about impeachment

John Fea   |  February 10, 2021

This afternoon the House impeachment manager showed these videos:

And these:

Here are some tweets worth considering:

How can any of these Senators watch video of themselves running for their lives from an armed mob that says it’s there on Trump’s instructions vote to acquit?

We're only part way through but I've seen enough to say this: All honor to the House impeachment managers and their staff, who, under great pressure, have had the coolness and capacity to create a trial record that tells the truth of January 6th to our own and future generations.

Why doesn’t it surprise me that Fox News cut away from the trial:

Some of Trump’s favorite evangelicals are also weighing-in:

The response of Liberty University’ Fakirk Center’s Charlie Kirk is deflect, deflect, deflect:

Jamie Raskin tweeted on 9/23/20:

"We must fight like hell to stop this assault on health care and the Constitution"

Leftists then went and stormed Mitch McConnell's home and marched to the Supreme Court

By Democrats' own standards, isn't Raskin guilty of "incitement?"

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) February 10, 2021

This is your daily reminder that Eric Swalwell was a "close associate" of and reportedly had an affair with a Chinese Communist Party spy

…And he's arguing that *Donald Trump* is a threat to the republic?

When House Impeachment Manager Joe Neguse was endorsed by Kamala Harris in 2018, he wrote on Twitter:

"Humbled to have the support of such a fearless leader as we FIGHT to take back Congress"

By his own standards, does that qualify as incitement?

?

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) February 10, 2021

Did you know:

Lead House Impeachment Manager Jamie Raskin objected to certifying election results in 2017

By the Democrats' own standards, doesn't that make him a "threat to democracy" and unfit to hold office?

Franklin Graham is retweeting articles from Alt-right Breitbart news:

Today the impeachment trial against former President Donald J. Trump begins in the US Senate. I don’t understand why there’s so much hatred for a president who did so much good for our country and did exactly what he told the American people he would do. https://t.co/H9I2QzUlE7

— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) February 9, 2021

Graham gets more detailed at his Facebook page:

There’s nothing in the Constitution that allows them to do this—they’re just making the rules up as they go. It’s obvious that Donald Trump‘s enemies are terrified that he might have a political future that would threaten their positions and their agendas. Let’s pray for our country and our leaders in Washington today. This impeachment is just further dividing our country when they should be focused on so many other issues. President Biden could take the leadership and speak out to condemn this evil hypocrisy.

Here is Gary Bauer on his Facebook page:

The Democrat impeachment managers took a totally normal statement about fighting for our country, rhetoric that I guarantee virtually every senator has used in their own speeches, and twisted it into a call for physical violence.

If that is incitement to violence, then every leftist who urged progressive activists “to fight for social justice” is responsible for the rioting in our cities last summer.

Need further proof that they deliberately took the president’s remarks out of context? The Democrat impeachment team censored the part of Trump’s speech where he rejected violence, telling supporters to march “patriotically and peacefully” to the Capitol to “cheer on” congressional conservatives.

If any jury in a court of law was shown a doctored video like that, defense attorneys would demand a mistrial and it would be granted.

There’s no question that a relatively small number of people involved in the January 6th rally on Capitol Hill did tremendous damage to the rule of law. But tremendous damage was also done to the rule of law yesterday by the Democrat impeachment managers and the senators who tolerated that video.

The pastor who hosted the “Evangelicals for Trump” rally in January 2020 (I wrote about it here) turns out to be a charlatan. This picture was taken at his church on that day:

David Brody of Christian Broadcasting Network continues to confuse me:

If you’re going to say that Trump’s words on January 6 led to the insurrection then you can’t play anything before January 6 right? Apparently not. What a sham. #ImpeachmentTrial

It’s all a scam:

Meanwhile, the rest of the former court evangelicals are silent today.
