- As Trump lies about President Biden allegedly refusing to talk to GA Gov. Kemp, Franklin Graham stands there silently giving his support. Then when Graham spoke, he thanked Trump & said nothing to push back against lies. More shamefulness from @Franklin_Graham
00:00 - We should *not* have congressional chaplains:The 118th Congress opens with a Christian prayer. Taxpayers give the chaplain a salary of $172,500/yr. There's something like 850 houses of worship in DC, about 12.5 per square mile.
- Replying to @HawleyMODoes this mean you support have a real trial with witnesses? If so, tell McConnell. If not, you're a hypocrite with this tweet.
- Replying to @BrianKaylorGraham standing by Trump echoes Graham's problematic behavior with Trump for years, including on Jan., 6, 2021:
- In speaker acceptance remarks, Johnson reads what he called a prayer by Thomas Jefferson. However, Monticello calls it "spurious" & unlikely it's from Jefferson: monticello.org/research-educa… Johnson has history of using fake quotes: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/church-scrub…
00:00 - Replying to @BrianKaylorMichael Flynn claiming during ReAwaken America at Trump Doral that those on the left don't have souls is dangerous dehumanizing rhetoric. He's painting this as a battle between God's people & soulless creatures.
00:00 - Made an observation about flag protocol & timing in light of Carter's death. Trumpvangelicals got upset. Funny thing is how many of Basham's "patriot" followers don't seem to realize timing is from the US Flag Code.
- Disappointing to see my governor use antisemitic rhetoric to suggest a rich Jewish man is manipulating a Black man to prosecute Trump. This offensive crap is wrong from anyone, but especially someone who often talks about his Christian faith. Delete & apologize, @GovParsonMO
- Replying to @JaredHuffmanHere's news report on the prayer being falsely attributed to Jefferson:
- Rev. John Fream of Cypress Baptist Church in Benton, LA, brought member Mike Johnson on stage during worship today. Fream excitedly said "one of us is speaker of the House!" And like Johnson did during acceptance remarks last month, Fream said God appointed Johnson to role. 1/
- Replying to @JonathanMerrittSo presidents get lifetime immunity? That's a dangerous solution.
- As political violence hits #Brazil, important to remember #Bolsonaro played to evangelicals much like #Trump. Look for religion in this coup effort, like in this photo of Bolsonaro supporters kneeling to pray as they storm presidential palace. (Eraldo Peres/AP)
- House Speaker was on stage during church service yesterday but political reporters apparently didn't notice. Few outlets have looked at Mike Johnson's comments in churches - even after we've reported on it at @WordandWay: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/christian-na… & publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/church-scrub…Rev. John Fream of Cypress Baptist Church in Benton, LA, brought member Mike Johnson on stage during worship today. Fream excitedly said "one of us is speaker of the House!" And like Johnson did during acceptance remarks last month, Fream said God appointed Johnson to role. 1/
