Christianity Today Editor Reveals The Point Trump ‘Crossed The Line’ For Him

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.”

Written by Josephine Harvey | Tuesday, December 24, 2019

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.

 

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.

After Galli published an editorial on Thursday telling his readers that the impeachment hearings had illustrated that Trump’s actions were “profoundly immoral,” he was admonished by the president in two strongly worded tweets on Friday morning.

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.

“My argument is not to judge him as a person in the eyes of God — that’s not my job — but to judge his public moral character and to ask, has he gone so far that the evangelical constituency that we represent, can we in good conscience do the trade-off anymore?” he told CBS host Margaret Brennan.

“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.”

He said he had no ill will towards evangelicals who continue to support the President, but did find it confusing that they could do so in good conscience.
