David French is French.

Franklin Graham was the first person I read say coup.

I believe we are in a coup d’etat,” Franklin Graham said on the Todd Starnes Radio Show. “There are people in this country who are wanting to destroy the president and take over the government by force.”

Wake up and smell the blood.

David French has gone to the dark side. Meanwhile, Graham is speaking to crowds of in the tens of thousands in Venezuela

What a night in Cúcuta! An overflow crowd of 52,000 from both Colombia and Venezuela came out to the Estadio General Santander to hear the Gospel. We praise God for each one who made the most important decision of their lives—to repent of their sins and trust Jesus Christ as their Savior. It was Good Friday, and I shared the reason that Jesus came to earth. We are all sinners, and the price of sin is death. We all deserve to die, but He took our place. He went to the cross for us where He died, was buried, and rose again on the third day. The Bible says, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

collapsing Evangelical public witness:

Presidential candidate and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is right—God doesn’t have a political party. But God does have commandments, laws, and standards He gives us to live by. God is God. He doesn’t change. His Word is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Mayor Buttigieg says he is a gay Christian and he wants to unite people behind him. I’m sure there will be many people who will want to follow. But as a Christian I believe what the Bible says. God’s Word defines homosexuality as sin, something to be repentant of, not something to be flaunted, praised, or politicized. The Bible defines marriage as between a man and a woman—not two men, not two women. Mayor Buttigieg also said that to him, “the core of faith is regard for one another.” We are definitely to support and help each other—no question. But that does not come above believing and being obedient to what God says is truth. Without that foundation, we really can’t help anyone in a way that impacts their eternity. The core of the Christian faith is believing and following Jesus Christ, who God sent to be the Savior of the world—to save us from sin, to save us from hell, to save us from eternal damnation.

French seems to have lifted the entire argument from this article.

finesse?

Certainly French's finesse is showing: While the coup is unraveling, we won't show support for Trump because, you know, we're the new evangelical witness.

[Robert DeLong]

Never Trump David French, in tuen I have become a Never French. Who cares what this bozo thinks. Certainly not I.

[Robert DeLong]

Never Trump David French, in turn I have become a Never French. Who cares what this bozo thinks. Certainly not I.

[faucetman]

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

[dsc]

Afraid I don’t take your point, old boy.

[Responsibility2nd]

For what its worth....

French (deservedly) took a lot of heat for posting this crap. So does he apologize and beg forgiveness?

Nope.

He doubles down on stupidity and makes things worse.

 

Christians, Sign the Petition. Condemn . . . Me?(Barf Alert)
