I was around in 1960 and I didn't hear one single evangelic protestant leader say that.
What I did see and hear was the liberal media at the time saying that's what
was happening in protestant churches.

I was too yonng to pick up those nuances.
But I do know that I never heard anything but fairly good comments about both
JFK and Nixon in my extended family and my conservative (mainstream Church of Christ).

And NOTHING but somber mourning when JFK was assassinated.

"But I do know that I never heard anything but fairly good comments about both JFK and Nixon in my extended family and my conservative (mainstream Church of Christ)."

Different around my place. My mother (maiden name O'Brien) was always on about the Kennedys. Or, "Those inbred shanty Irish trash," as she was wont to call them.
