Mark Galli says it's strange that people who "take the teachings of Jesus Christ seriously" can't see that Trump's character is "deeply concerning."
Christianity Today editor-in-chief Mark Galli said on Sunday that President Donald Trump has crossed a moral line ― his “bad character” now outweighs the advantages he offers to the evangelical community, Galli said.
Galli, who also called for Trump to be removed from office, faced backlash from multiple evangelical leaders, including Franklin Graham ― the son of American evangelist Billy Graham who founded Christianity Today ― but he doubled down on his opinion in a “Face The Nation” appearance on Sunday. “His public morality is what makes him unfit for office,” @MarkGalli tells @margbrennan on his rebuke of @realdonaldtrump. pic.twitter.com/ZR105vIpcg“He gives us what we need on pro-life, but he’s got this bad character. And the fundamental argument I’m making is we crossed a line somewhere in the impeachment hearings, at least in my mind, that that balance no longer works.”
“It strikes me as strange that for people that take the teachings of Jesus Christ seriously, teachings of the Ten Commandments seriously, that we can’t at least say publicly and out loud and in front of God and everybody that this man’s character is deeply, deeply concerning to us and, in my judgement, has crossed a line and no longer think he’s fit to lead the United States of America.”
