Over 16,000 Christians Want Franklin Graham Fired for Helping Incite Capitol Riot

More than 16,000 Christians have signed a petition calling for evangelical leader Franklin Graham to be fired as the head of Samaritan s Purse and his father s namesake non-profit Billy Graham Evangelistic Association after he endorsed President Donald Trump s conspiracy theories that the election was rigged or stolen.
Graham said in December that he believed Trump when he said that the election was rigged or stolen. Graham later tweeted his support for Republican lawmakers planning to object to the certification of President-elect Joe Biden s win in multiple battleground states. The petition argues that Graham s support of Trump s false claims helped to incite the mob of the president s rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol while Congress convened to count the Electoral Votes on January 6.

If, as children, we happened to say the same words at the same time, my sisters and I used to blurt out those six words. And we used to hear Billy Graham on the radio on Sunday mornings.
All four of those sisters eventually migrated to the United States of America. Which is what really brought those two seemingly unrelated bits of information together in a strange way on Sunday morning.
