On Sunday night Anderson Cooper interviewed Southern Baptist Convention president Bart Barber. Barber talks about the denomination’s sexual abuse scandal, his belief that Joe Biden is the legitimate president, the reasons why he did not vote for Trump in 2016 but voted for him in 2020; abortion, and January 6. Most Southern Baptists seemed to like it.

How are Southern Baptists responding?
Just watched @bartbarber interview on @60Minutes. IMO Bart represented our churches articulately, clearly, helpfully, empathetically, and most important, biblically. https://t.co/XhtULDKABZ

Christian Nationalism "stands opposed to 400 years of Baptist history and everything I believe about religious liberty…I object to it because Jesus said, 'My kingdom is not of this world.'" @bartbarber on 60 Minutes pic.twitter.com/sNd0ILJl3V

Grateful SBC President publicly declared his disapproval of Christian Nationalism & Donald Trump. He refused to pledge support for Trump’s ‘24 candidacy. Luter/Barber only SBC presidents who publicly wouldn’t support GOP prez candidates in my 40yrs of observation. Proud of Bart!

Thanks @bartbarber. There were about 150 ways any of us could’ve messed this interview up but you did an outstanding job. Must be all that steer wrestling or something. https://t.co/MKJ5qY45FA

We join many in commending @bartbarber for how he represented SBapts and our Lord in tonight’s interview with 60 mins, we want to remind our friends:

Without @jdgreear, we wouldn’t have an investigation.
Without @EdLitton, we wouldn’t have had a credible investigation.
Here's the thing: Even if @bartbarber is 100% sincere, he's working within a deeply toxic, survivor unfriendly system that hasn't yet manifested any meaningful transformation or made amends with those it harmed. That's what is real. #ThisistheSBC #SBCtoo https://t.co/09p7Tm0i0L

This was a God-honoring, masterclass interview from @bartbarber tonight on @60Minutes.

It’s impressive on its own–but all the more when you understand what goes into the making of a segment like this.
I’m speaking from experience here. https://t.co/Ui6oQ0tpTf

So grateful to see the way Bart Barber is leading the SBC! https://t.co/SXAyG3Hg1x

How far have we fallen as a convention that we are applauding the SBC president for stating the historic and biblical stance on homosexuality? Congratulations? Good job? “Bart Barber affirms the Trinity”. Lol. Right. As he should. What a low low bar we have set. https://t.co/g1ecpoM9pi

Bart Barber is the only baptist pastor I’ve ever seen actually finish the service in 60 minutes

Would love to meet him. Thought @andersoncooper's performance with him on 60 minutes last night was embarrassing, but commonplace for today's "journalists". AC wants so badly to make Christians look like the extremists in society. @bartbarber rose above.
— Rep. Jared Patterson (@JaredLPatterson) October 10, 2022
Bart did well.
— Tom Ascol @tomascol (@tomascol) October 10, 2022
Bart was asked “Can someone be a good Christian, a member of the SBC & married to person of the same sex?”
— Tom Buck (Five Point Buck) (@TomBuck) October 10, 2022
Bart boldly said “No.”
I’m thankful for this & ask @bartbarber to address the fact that FBC Orlando is practicing this & @NAMB_SBC is partnering w/ them to plant churches

Really well done. Grateful for how Dr. Barber represented Southern Baptists.https://t.co/5UG0AETSX0
Leftists want to confuse Christians about how they should vote, and SBC President Bart Barber is happy to help them as this 60 Minutes interview shows. https://t.co/fgtMN6eD8x
