  • >> Julie: CHRISTIANITY TODAY

  • DOUBLING DOWN ON THEIR CRITIQUE

  • OF PRESIDENT TRUMP WITH AN OP-ED

  • FROM IN THE PIECE WHERE TIMOTHY

  • QUESTIONS TO THE UNCONDITIONAL

  • LOYALTY OF EVANGELICAL

  • CHRISTIANS TO THE ADMINISTRATION

  • AND ASKED READERS TO RECONSIDER

  • THEIR UNWAVERING SUPPORT.

  • "WE NEVERTHELESS BELIEVE THE

  • AMBIEN GELA: ALLIANCE HAS DONE

  • DAMAGE TO THE WITNESS HERE AND

  • ABROAD.

  • THE COST HAS BEEN TOO HIGH.

  • AMERICAN EVANGELICALISM IS NOT A

  • REPUBLICAN IMPACT."

  • ALL OF THIS AS THE SON OF THE

  • MAGAZINE FOUNDER FRANKLIN GRAHAM

  • IS TAKING ISSUE WITH THE

  • PUBLICATION AND INVOKING HIS

  • FATHER BILLY GRAHAM IN ITS

  • ORIGINAL EDITORIAL, AND HE HAD

  • THIS TO SAY TO FOX NEWS.

  • >> MY FATHER WOULD BE VERY

  • DISAPPOINTED.

  • THIS IS WELL OFF THE TARGET.

  • THEY ARE A VERY LIBERAL LEFT

  • WING ORGANIZATION NOW.

  • >> Julie: JOINED BY THE SENIOR

  • EDITOR OF "THE FEDERALIST."

  • SO WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT

  • THIS.

  • SO I GUESS THAT IS GOOD FOR

  • CHRISTIANITY TODAY.

  • THEY WANTED OUR PROTECTION, THEY

  • WANTED TO SELL MAGAZINES, AND

  • THEY DID.

  • THIS IS ONE SIMPLE EDITORIAL.

  • IT IS NOT EVANGELICAL

  • CHRISTIANS.

  • BUT WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE

  • PUBLICATION NOW DOUBLING DOWN

  • AFTER GETTING A WIDE CRITICISM.

  • >> IT IS THE EDITOR'S LAST

  • STAND, RETIRING IN A FEW WEEKS.

  • YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHAT HAS

  • CHANGED, WE KNEW WHO

  • PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WAS WHEN

  • HE WAS RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

  • WE KNEW ABOUT HIS BACKGROUND.

  • BUT WE ALSO KNEW HOW HE HAS

  • GOVERN HIS HEALTH AND THE

  • POLICIES HE HAS IMPLEMENTED

  • WHICH HAVE BEEN FRIENDLY TOWARDS

  • EVANGELICALS, SO THIS IS A LAST

  • DANCE SHOT FROM CHRISTIANITY IS

  • OUTGOING EDITOR SAYING THAT HE

  • IS TAKING A STAND.

  • EVANGELICALS I DO NOT THINK ARE

  • GOING TO BE PLAYING THE

  • PRESIDENT, BECAUSE THEY ARE

  • LOOKING AT SOMEONE WHO HAS STOOD

  • BY THEM MORE THAN ANY REPUBLICAN

  • PRESIDENT ON PLANNED PARENTHOOD

  • AND ABORTION, ON JUDGES AND

  • JUDICIAL NOMINEES, ON MOVING THE

  • EMBASSY IN ISRAEL.

  • THESE ARE THINGS THAT

  • REPUBLICANS HAVE PROMISED TO DO

  • FOR DECADES, AND THE EVANGELICAL

  • VOTE REALLY DOES APPRECIATE

  • SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY STANDS BY

  • THEIR WORD.

  • THAT IS A MEANINGFUL THING IN

  • THIS.

  • NOT ONLY THAT, BUT YOU HAVE TO

  • LOOK AT HIS FAMILY.

  • IT DONALD TRUMP HAS AN AMAZING

  • FAMILY THAT CLEARLY LOVES HIM

  • AND HE LOVES THEM BACK.

  • THAT IS NOT LOST ON EVANGELICAL

  • VOTERS EITHER.

  • SO THERE'S NOT REALLY AN

  • ALTERNATIVE FOR THEM.

  • THIS IS SOMEONE THEY CAN STAND

  • BY GENERALLY LOOKING EVEN IF HE

  • MAY HAVE SOME PERSONAL FLAWS IN

  • HIS PAST.

  • >> Julie: TIMOTHY DERN HALL,

  • ABOUT TO RETIRE AS YOU MENTION,

  • BUT I'M WONDERING BEFORE HE

  • GOES, WHO WOULD HE RECOMMEND

  • THAT EVANGELICAL SHOULD STAND

  • BEHIND, BECAUSE CLEARLY I DON'T

  • THINK HE IS SAYING WHY DON'T YOU

  • JUST STAND BEHIND ONE OF THE

  • NUMEROUS DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL

  • CANDIDATES, SO EXACTLY WHAT DOES

  • HE WANT EVANGELICALS TO DO?

  • TO VOTE SOMEBODY INTO THE OFFICE

  • THAT IS PRO-ABORTION?

  • WHAT IS HIS STANCE AND HIS

  • METHOD?

  • WHAT IS HIS GOAL, WHAT IS HIS

  • MODE METHOD?

  • THERE IS A SAD HISTORY OF THIS

  • WITH EVANGELICAL VOTERS, THE

  • LAST TIME THEY WERE ACTIVE WAS

  • NOT FOR A REPUBLICAN, IT WAS FOR

  • JIMMY CARTER BECAUSE HE FIT IN

  • THE MODE, AND THEY THOUGHT, THIS

  • IS A GOOD MAN.

  • JIMMY CARTER WAS ELECTED AND

  • TURNED AROUND AND DID NOT PUT A

  • SINGLE EVANGELICAL INTO HIS

  • CABINET.

  • THEY WERE CUT OFF.

  • THEY DID NOT HAVE HIS NUMBER.

  • THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO SPEAK TO

  • THE PRESIDENT THAT WEIGHED YOU

  • CAN SPEAK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP.

  • THERE IS NOT A SINGLE CANDIDATE

  • OUT THERE THAT I'VE SEEN ON THE

  • RIGHT OR THE LEFT WHO IS WILLING

  • TO STAND UP AND GREG ACOSTA IN

  • HIS FAMILY, AS MUCH AS

  • PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS FOR THE

  • THINGS THAT MATTER TO

  • CHRISTIANS, CHRISTIANS ARE UNDER

  • ATTACK FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE IN

  • THE COUNTRY.

  • >> Julie: FOR THE PRESIDENT TO

  • BE WORRIED AT ALL?

  • >> I WOULD NOT EXPECT THAT THERE

  • WILL BE AN EXODUS OF THE

  • EVANGELICAL MOVEMENT.

  • IT IS CALLED A LIBERAL MAGAZINE.

  • TO KEEP IN MIND, IT IS LIBERAL

  • EVANGELICAL ON THE LEFT OF

  • EVANGELICAL, BUT IT IS STILL A

  • PRETTY REPUBLICAN MAGAZINE.

  • AND A LOT OF THE EVANGELICAL

  • VOTERS WILL STILL COME OUT, JUST

  • LIKE THEY DID IN 2016, I

  • SUSPECT.

  • >> Julie: GRAHAM HAS COME OUT

  • AND SAID THAT CHRISTIANITY TODAY

  • DOES NOT REPRESENT MOST

  • EVANGELICALS, THE FOX NEWS POLL

  • SAYS HE IS TIGHT, WHITE

  • EVANGELICALS IN THE COUNTRY DO

  • NOT ONLY NOT SUPPORT

  • IMPEACHMENT, THEY DO NOT SUPPORT
