Shane on Franklin:

I am not a Democrat and have had plenty of critiques of Biden, and yet the fidelity of @Franklin_Graham to Trump still baffles me. Franklin, your loyalty to Trump is doing a lot of damage to the credibility of your Christian witness. https://t.co/lV5gMtA2uR pic.twitter.com/dGFTo51pUy

Kari Lake and Christian nationalists

Even David Barton understands. although I wonder if this is more about a Trump supporter trying discredit Haley:

Even Christian nationalist pseudo-historian David Barton acknowledges that the Civil War was about slavery: "We've had a lot of people say … it was about states' rights. Well, maybe. But the state right they contended for the most was [slavery]." https://t.co/lAOLZu7r7W pic.twitter.com/WDhpCO1UGi

Sexual abuse in Texas evangelicalism

Defending his beloved:

Men, if any man of any age tries to enter a public restroom after your daughter goes in, you know what to do. Without hesitation, you stop him, stand between him and your precious child, and take any and all consequences for doing so.

No hesitation.

— Owen Strachan (@ostrachan) January 26, 2024

Per my earlier post, any man who tries to go in a restroom after my wife–my beloved–is a man who sows to the whirlwind and will reap the whirlwind.

Like my children, I will protect my wife without hesitation and without limitation.

No questions asked.

Evangelicals are lining-up to support Trump after a jury decided he owes $83.3. million to E.J. Carroll:

Imagine paying $83 million to a woman you don't know who says you did something 34 years ago and a New York jury, much like a D.C. jury, decides you are guilty regardless?

Report: New York Jury Orders Donald Trump to Pay Accuser $83.3 Million https://t.co/AK66XPXWTU via…

— Lance Wallnau (@lancewallnau) January 27, 2024

Let's be clear: This $83.3 million verdict from New York is not justice. E. Jean Carroll cannot even remember what YEAR she was supposedly "raped." She has absolutely no public reputation to lose and yet a New York court claims she suffered vast reputational harm because Donald…
