Franklin Graham Bashes ‘Evangelicals for Harris’ After Featuring His Late Father, Billy Graham, in Anti-Trump Ad

--- Quote ---In late 2020, ‘Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden’ launched to much fanfare. These men and women championed voting for the Democrats as having the most pro-life ethic of all, certainly way more than the Republicans. Still, the group shut down ten months later, lamenting and crying foul in a fit of disappointment and betrayal after the Biden-Harirs Presidency passed a raft of pro-choice legislation.

Enter the newest iteration, Evangelicals For Harris, which is only slightly less absurd than “Queers for Palestine” and should probably more aptly be described as “Apostates for Harris.” The group claims to represent evangelicals who are voting and advocating for the Harris/ Walz Presidency, running interference for them while seeking to downplay their radical agenda on issues like the economy, climate change, abortion entrenchment and expansion, LGBTQ promotion, destroying the nuclear family, and trans-ing the children.

In a prime example of “don’t pee on my head and tell me it’s raining,” the group puts a huge focus on Harris’ faith, insisting she is a “deeply committed Christian” despite being a living, breathing emblem of Jezebellion hubris that deeply despises Jesus, Christianity, and everything it stands for.  ...

To that end, the group released a campaign ad featuring the late evangelist Billy Graham insisting on the importance of going to the cross and asking for forgiveness- “Lord, I have sinned. I’m sorry for my sin. I’m willing to change my way of life.”

This was then contrasted with footage of Trump from 2015 who, when asked if he had ever sought God’s forgiveness, (which we’ve criticized him for) said: “I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so. I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.” ...

The ad featuring Graham likewise prompted a response from his son, Franklin Graham, who insisted that “The liberals are using anything and everything they can to promote candidate Harris” and that “they are trying to mislead people” on account that his father was a “firm supporter of President Trump in 2016.” ...

This "evangelicals for Harris" group is chock full of faux Christians.

During the "Evangelicals For Harris" Zoom call, Bishop Claude Alexander says "I believe abortion should be safe, legal, and rare in the cases of rape, incest, and threat to the life of the mother," and "this election is a referendum on January 6."

Evangelicals For Harris spent years wailing about Trump "breaking up families" at the border and now they're voting to empower a regime that will take children from parents who don't want them on puberty blockers.

These people are programmed foot soldiers in an obvious psyop.

Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Threatens to Sue ‘Evangelicals for Harris’ Over Anti-Trump Ad

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the progressive political group ‘Evangelicals for Harris,’ threatening to sue them for copyright infringement after they featured the organization’s namesake in a series of anti-Trump ads.

Evangelicals For Harris, which is only slightly less absurd than “Queers for Palestine,” claims to represent evangelicals who are voting and advocating for the Harris/Walz ticket, running interference for them while seeking to downplay their radical agenda on issues like the economy, climate change, abortion entrenchment and expansion, LGBTQ promotion, destroying the nuclear family, and trans-ing the children.

In a prime example of “don’t pee on my head and tell me it’s raining,” the group puts a huge focus on Harris’ faith, insisting she is a “deeply committed Christian” despite being a living, breathing emblem of Jezebellion hubris that deeply despises Jesus, Christianity, and everything it stands for.

Several months ago, the group released a campaign ad featuring the late evangelist Billy Graham insisting on the importance of going to the cross and asking for forgiveness. This was then contrasted with footage of Trump from 2015 who, when asked if he had ever sought God’s forgiveness (which we’ve criticized him for), said: “I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so. I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

At the time, the ad featuring Graham prompted a response from his son, Franklin Graham, who insisted that “The liberals are using anything and everything they can to promote candidate Harris” and that “they are trying to mislead people” on account that his father was a “firm supporter of President Trump in 2016.”

Evangelicals for Harris have responded to the threat of a lawsuit from the BEGA, saying in a statement that their use of Graham’s footage is entirely fair use and they have no intention of removing it. 
--- Quote ---  “Our ability to publicly discuss the moral failings of Donald Trump and how his behavior comports with the values espoused by evangelical leaders, including Billy Graham, is essential First Amendment expression…EFH’s limited use of Billy Graham’s speech falls squarely within the fair use protections afforded by Section 107 of the Copyright Act…

    The “Keep Clear” advertisement contains short clips from a speech given by Billy Graham thirty-six years ago. The advertisement uses these clips to comment on Graham’s message and contrast it with the statements and actions of former President Donald Trump. This is a paradigmatic example of fair use, which protects “criticism, comment, [and] news reporting”[4] and provides “breathing space within the confines of copyright.

    EFH’s use of the short segments of Billy Graham’s speech is legal, fully appropriate, and well within our rights. EFH will not be removing the “Keep Clear” advertisement in response to your demand. The advertisement is a transformative, noncommercial use of less than two percent of a widely disseminated video, aimed at a market that BGEA was prohibited from targeting.”

DefiantMassRINO:
Evangelicans are literally selling their souls to the Orange Devil to make abortion illegal nationwide.  I hope the moral compromises are worth it for them.

Mr. Graham...  Don't threaten to sue....  Just Do It....
