Franklin Graham praises Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his “honesty”

In case you missed it, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running for president as an independent, told CNN’s Erin Barnett that Joe Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than Donald Trump.

Watch:

Franklin Graham liked what he heard:

I haven’t met @RobertKennedyJr—I wouldn’t agree with all of his politics and I’m sure he wouldn’t agree with mine either—but he doesn’t beat around the bush and he comes across as honest. I appreciate that. Honesty is important—it’s a Biblical character trait and it’s something…

If you can’t access the tweet, here is the entire transcript:

I haven’t met @RobertKennedyJr—I wouldn’t agree with all of his politics and I’m sure he wouldn’t agree with mine either—but he doesn’t beat around the bush and he comes across as honest. I appreciate that. Honesty is important—it’s a Biblical character trait and it’s something that is missing in much of politics today. Last night on @CNN he warned America that President Biden is a serious threat to democracy because he is “weaponizing the federal agencies.” He said, “President Biden is the first candidate in history, the first president in history, that has used federal agencies to censor political speech or censor his opponent.” I believe he’s 100% correct.

I am guessing Graham is voting for Trump in November, but I wonder how many evangelicals see Graham as a viable alternative to Biden. No one seems to be talking about this.

    Those who complain about the “weaponization” of federal agencies I think are running scared because of how it might affect them.
