US President Donald Trump has blasted a prominent Christian magazine, a day after it published an editorial arguing that he should be removed from office because of his 'blackened moral record'. 9News
Mr Trump "attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president's political opponents", Galli wrote, referring to former Vice President Joe Biden.The schism among Christians about Mr Trump dates back to before his election. Prominent Southern Baptist Russell Moore warned that Mr Trump "incites division" in a 2015 op-ed.
Many prominent evangelicals have only intensified their support for Mr Trump as Democrats moved to impeach him, circling the wagons despite Mr Trump's personal history, which includes multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, deeply divisive policies and profanity laced comments. He declared that he "won't be reading ET again!" using the wrong initials to describe the Christian publication.
Another Mr Trump evangelical adviser, Southern Baptist megachurch pastor Robert Jeffress, tweeted that the magazine is "dying" and "going against 99 percent of evangelical Republicans who oppose impeachment". The editorial came one day after Mr Trump became the third president in American history to be impeached.
