She tried. Oh, how she tried.
However, no matter how many times Atlantic magazine writer Emma Green tried to get the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, Leith Anderson, to criticize President Trump, she failed completely, as you can see in her Wednesday interview, "Evangelicalism’s Silent Majority."
Green kicks off the interview by attempting to extract the desired criticism from her subject:

Evangelical PING!
Yes. Desperately. Truly pathetic.
She had one goal, and when each attempt failed to trip him up, she resorted to saying, “Green: Let me try it one more way”. Does she think that evangelical Christians are so shallow that a ditsy broad could take one down in a simple interview? She’s playing with people who are solidly grounded in the Scripture, and her little Journalism degree isn’t going to threaten the Truth.
It’s divide and conquer. It’s what the leftardniki do. And it works.
Which is why people in positions like the evangelical “leader” should not allow themselves to be roped into bait and switch interviews with the media... and ESPECIALLY one like the Atlantic magazine. A little opposition research before agreeing to the interview would help tremendously.
This is a War right now. The other side will use ANY little slip-up, any disagreement, any comment they can twist.
“Truth” notwithstanding.
The Atlantic magazine has become so bad I canceled my free subscription.
Lefties always believe they're smarter than non-Lefties, doubly so for Christians.
“Green: ...“Shithole countries” is the perfect example. I wonder, as a pastor, whether you see it as your responsibility to equip your flock to respond to a message like that coming from our country’s leader?
Anderson: It’s my responsibility to talk about what’s happening in South Sudan. It’s my responsibility to say that the poorest country in the world is the Central African Republic, where a majority of the people are evangelicals, and the country is ripped apart by war. That’s not expending resources and energy opposing people.
Green: Let me try it one more way, then. Eighty-one percent of white evangelicals voted for Trump. Now evangelicals are tied to anything the Trump administration does. Do you feel a responsibility to counter the perception of an association between evangelicals and the president?”
Another piece of Mz. Emma’s ‘work’:
These Are the Americans Who Live in a Bubble
“Most Americans do not live in a totalizing bubble. They regularly encounter people of different races, ideologies, and religions. For the most part, they view these interactions as positive, or at least neutral.
Yet according to a new study by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) and The Atlantic, a significant minority of Americans do not live this way. They seldom or never meet people of another race. They dislike interacting with people who don’t share their political beliefs. And when they imagine the life they want for their children, they prize sameness, not difference. Education and geography seemed to make a big difference in how people think about these issues, and in some cases, so did age.“
Little Mz. Emma needs to hang for a couple weeks each in various communities and observe honestly. Say...city black, then rural Hispanic, then coastal university, then Somali...
Lefties always believe they’re smarter than non-Lefties, doubly so for Christians.

Yes. You see, lefties understand great scientific concepts, such as XX=XY, which the rest of us just don’t get.
Somebody doesn’t really know Evangelicals, does she ?
Very young, and she hasn’t had time to acquire a bit of wisdom.
Give her time, she’s still ‘young and dumb’.
well on her way to older and dumber
