CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 10, 2021
DURING LAST YEAR’S PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN – AND IN 2016 – EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS WERE TOLD BY CERTAIN ELITES NOT TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE OF HIS MESSY PERSONAL LIFE. A GROUP CALLING ITSELF “EVANGELICALS FOR BIDEN” INCLUDED BILLY GRAHAM’S GRANDDAUGHTER AND SOME PROMINENT CURRENT AND FORMER PASTORS. IT CLAIMED THAT WHILE BIDEN WAS PRO-ABORTION, HE WAS “MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE BIBLICALLY SHAPED ETHIC OF LIFE THAN DONALD TRUMP.”
THE GROUP HAS NOW ISSUED A STATEMENT, SAYING EVANGELICALS AND CATHOLICS ”FEEL BETRAYED,” ESPECIALLY OVER THE REPEAL OF THE HYDE AMENDMENT, WHICH FORBID TAXPAYER MONEY BEING USED FOR ABORTIONS IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
TONY PERKINS, HEAD OF THE FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL, SAID, “THEY CAN’T SAY THEY WEREN’T WARNED. EVERYONE IN AMERICA KNEW WHERE JOE BIDEN STOOD ON ABORTION – BECAUSE HE TOLD THEM. IN 13 DEBATES, MULTIPLE CAMPAIGN ADS AND A PLANNED PARENTHOOD TOWNHALL, NO ONE HAD ANY DOUBT THAT IF THIS MAN WON THE WHITE HOUSE HIS FOLKSY FAITH TALK WOULD TAKE A BACKSEAT TO HIS POLITICAL DEAL WITH THE FAR-LEFT. IF EVANGELICALS FOR BIDEN WANT TO SAY THEY NEVER SAW THIS COVID BILL AND ITS ABORTION FUNDING COMING, THEY WERE THE ONLY ONE.”
CALL IT BUYER’S REMORSE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
