President of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Franklin Graham, has called on US President Joe Biden to ‘stand up to’ Democrats’ impeachment attempt against former president Donald Trump.
The Evangelist who has always been a vociferous supporter of Donald Trump and the Republican party, made this call in a statement released at his Facebook Page.
In his statement, Franklin Graham appreciated Joe Biden for his speech promoting peace at the Inauguration, and also called for unity and cooperation between The Democrats and The Republicans.
“I hope President Biden will stand up to those on Capitol Hill who want to impeach Donald Trump and tell them to put this behind us. If he wants to unite this country, this would be a huge step forward…” he stated.
Graham also called on Americans to pray fervently for the newly inaugurated leadership.
Meanwhile, Americans are still divided in their opinions about Trump, his impeachment and Graham’s continuous support of him.
Crystal Butler, a top follower of Evangelist Graham, responding to his statement said, ‘The biggest reason for the impeachment is to keep Trump from ever holding office. If you think this man acts like a Christian, you need to get down on your knees and pray some more’
While Dinah Ennis commented, ‘He is already undoing some of the good things Trump did. He is not interested in uniting or he would have keep these great things in place and move forward. He is more interested in going against Trump than doing good for the people. Not a good start…’
The whole world is watching, to see how the Biden/Harris Administration will turn out to be. Only time will tell whether the fears of the Evangelicals were right; or whether they were mere political sentiments.
