Selectively Self-Righteous Graham Says Buttigieg Must Repent | Morning Joe | MSNBC

Ha! Homosexuality didn't even make the cut for the ten commandments. On the other hand, Trump has broken about 60% of the commandments that Graham holds so dear. Religion has been the bain of mankind since the beginning of time.

[blakebailey]

And trump is the pinnacle of christian values, right graham?

[superperformance]

Why don't the evangelicals repent for supporting T-rump?

[johnhopkins]

vaguely recall an old bumper sticker: "If you want a country run by religion, move to Iran"

[mr.fibonacci]

Jon Mechum’s point was sooo well said! Christianity is about love and tolerance, not condemnation and hatred. Take it up with Pete’s Creator, Mr. Ghram.

[kristinmarra]

Let Graham sound like an extreme kook. He’s chasing young people away from evangelicalism and, better yet, from the Republican Party. Keep talking, Frankie!

[gdouglas]

Pete Buttigieg is probably among the most honorable human beings any of us will ever know and certainly represent's Christ's values many times more honestly than Franklin Graham ever has or ever will.

[FredomUsa]

As a Christian Franklin graham should get on his knees and repent for his sins and leave everyone else to repent for their own sins.

[CCEkeke]

Good LORD! Are we really still having this conversation?? Evangelical leadership should be the last authority on ANYTHING moral given who they keep backing.

[candicepederson]

I'm so sick of these so-called "Christians" and their hypocrisy 🤢

You know the flock is lost when they stop asking W.W.J.D. and start asking W.W.D.J.T.D.

[DavidJ]

Someone should search Franklin Graham's computer, there's no telling what kind of sick and illegal stuff he has on there. He looks and sounds like the type.

[socaliguy]

Watching this inspired me to spend my church offerings on Mayor Pete's campaign instead.

"...pointing fingers ... as opposed to ... extending a hand." That sums it up succinctly and perfectly. Thank you, Mr. Meacham.

[targetedplantsguy]

The teachings of christ condemned men like Franklin Graham.

[uncc]

Thank you, Joe, for your comments. Much appreciated.

[alexlalonde]

Mr. Graham; Jesus said the greatest gift from God (IS) Love. And GOD has said let no man put asunder what I have made;Jesus has said judge not lest ye be judged. Repent Mr Graham your trying to take the position of God which is not yours to have.

[andersvesterholt]

"It [Trump's affairs] happened a long time ago, therefore it doesn't matter" - that's EXACTLY how I feel about Christianity.

[stephencoldbear]

"Just shut up Franklin Graham!" It's about time somebody said that.

[jonb]

Latin America has the most Christians per capita of any region on earth. The day Evangelicals in the US treat them as brothers and sisters is the day I take their faith seriously.
