A new group of evangelical leaders forms in support of Biden

[Nepperhan]

Well, this is an interesting development. Is there a break in the ranks of evangelicals?

" When he was pastor of a prominent megachurch in Orlando, Joel Hunter never told anyone how he
voted, but like many White evangelical leaders, he picked Donald Trump in 2016. Trump was friendly with the conservative Christian community, and Hunter thought, “Well, let’s give it a shot.”

“Hillary Clinton never did reach out to the evangelical community,” Hunter said. “So I thought, we’re not going to have much of an influence or impact on policy with her, but we might with Trump.”

On Friday, Hunter will join a group of evangelicals who represent major Christian institutions who are launching a group, Pro-life Evangelicals for Biden, describing the Democrat’s overall agenda as closer to what they call a “biblically balanced agenda,” even though they disagree with Biden on abortion rights.

Hunter, who was a spiritual adviser to President Barack Obama, cast his vote for Obama twice because he saw him as a sign of “hope,” after supporting Republican presidents most of his life. He said he didn’t anticipate the downsides of voting for Trump in 2016."

“What’s so pro-life about forced hysterectomies?” It’s an obvious follow-up question after the revelation that the Department of Homeland Security under Donald Trump forced unwanted reproductive medical procedures on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detainees.”

He might have a cogent point if he was abandoning Trump for a 3rd party. He lines up his critiques (ironically, he refers to kids in cages, a move that preceded Trump when Joe Biden was the Vice President) then thinks Biden’s failings suddenly disappear? Have the courage to be consistent and vote for a 3rd party, man. He isn’t fooling anyone; his constant use of “anti-abortion” is an obvious tell. Most of us will automatically dismiss every issue you raise when you decide to vote for a man who is no better. Consequently, neither is he.

He’s a joke.
