From the New York Times

Though all of the invited speakers were popular evangelical leaders and entertainers, many supporters outside were Cuban émigrés who said their primary concern was what they saw as the threat of socialism. Most said they were lifelong Republicans who were more concerned than ever about the Democratic Party gaining more power, citing fears that they would face more government mandates.

Mr. Trump brought to the stage Cissie Graham Lynch, a granddaughter of Billy Graham, the founder of Christianity Today, to offer an implicit rebuke of the magazine’s recent editorial calling for his removal from the White House .

Thanks cutworm!

This comes after the MSM used an opinion from an editor at a Christian magazine calling for President Trump to be removed from office as headline news to (once again) mislead us into thinking that support for President Trump from Evangelical leaders was crumbling.

That judgemental editorial was telling fellow Christians that President Trump was immoral and breaking the ten commandments and he should be removed from office......while chastising everybody that supported him.

The outcry from hundreds of Evangelical groups after that showed this to be another media lie.

"While many liberals hailed Galli, saying his decision to oppose Trump showed “courage,” nearly 200 evangelical leaders condemned what he had written, saying the anti-Trump editorial had “offensively questioned the spiritual integrity and Christian witness of tens-of-millions of believers who take seriously their civic and moral obligations.”

metmike: I strongly believe that the NY Times headline from your link cutworm, repeating Trumps words "God is on our side" is intentionally trying to send the divisive message to everybody else that he means that God is not on their side.

The MSM want to destroy this president and for many, this is their biggest objective.
