After Calling Christians Racist, David French Accuses His Church Of ‘Canceling’ Him
The Federalist ^ | June 11, 2024 | Kylee Griswold

David French just can’t help himself. Weeks after having his panel on polarization yanked from the Presbyterian Church in America’s (PCA) General Assembly over his well-documented character assassinations of faithful Christians, French wrote a New York Times op-ed bemoaning that his “old church canceled” him and made him “sad.”

Then he went on MSNBC and specifically “Morning Joe,” a network that routinely mocks Christians, to double down on his smear campaign and legitimize a bunch of republic-destroying lawfare because the target is Donald Trump.

So to recap, David French voluntarily and very publicly left the PCA because it was teeming with racists. But he wasn’t so bothered by it that he could resist returning to the denomination’s primary meeting to lecture on “polarization.” Then he was uninvited thanks to astute Christians quoting French’s own polarizing words.

But David French is the victim? OK.

He “canceled” the PCA and its evil white members long before they “canceled” him.

Dissecting French’s Latest Delusion

French doesn’t name me in his self-obsessed screed, but I’m clearly the subject of his ire. The “professional polarizer” links to my article on the subject twice, once calling it “misleading” but without naming anything I got wrong — probably because he can’t. Every nasty thing he’s ever written about white evangelicals is public.

In his latest installment, French recaps how “apolitical” the PCA was when he and his wife joined it in 2004 through 2007 when he deployed (he can’t help himself). Then everything changed. This is the crux of his piece:

Two things happened that changed our lives, however, and in hindsight they’re related. First, in 2010, we adopted a 2-year-old girl from Ethiopia. Second, in 2015, Donald Trump announced his presidential campaign.

In other words, SNIP>>>>

Poor Davey, the PCA leadership found out what he really stood for and canceled his panel and then apologized to the denomination for even inviting him in the first place. I'm sure he's "sad" that he can't convince the PCA to become like the PCUSA.

I wonder what denomination he is blessing with his presence now?

David French is apparently too stupid to see that the most virulent, official, institutionalized racism in this country comes from the left. From the demonization of whites, the shameless pandering and condescension towards blacks, the sense of entitled ownership over blacks and other POC, to the rabid anti-Semitism we've seen over the last eight months.

Yes, way on the fringes of the right there are a handful of "neo-Nazis" and white supremacists, but they have no institutional power whatsoever in mainstream conservative organizations.

Given his particular prejudices, I’d predict TEC.

The ratio of black to white, on every page of The Bible is overwhelmingly in favor of white.

That is if Davey reads it.

If he wants it black, turn out the lights, then read it.

Gotta confront that inbedded racism.

That’s right. The only thing Davy Frenchy just proved is how shallow and ignorant he is.

I went to a funeral this week where a PCA pastor spoke. He has been known for dividing his congregation, call those who disagree with BLM, Christian Nationalists (I’m sure he meant Nazis) … then he bemoaned the lack of unity in the church.

Both he and David French have pretty big logs in their eyes …

I’m having a hard time believing that you can be a DEMOCRAT AND a CHRISTIAN!

Remember when people on FR were pushing this “True Conservative” as the answer to the problem of Trump being nominated?

I do.

Dunno. I used to belong to a PCA church back in the day. Much more sound than the PCUSA.

French rode the no Trumper train to the NYT. He’s getting paid big bucks to insult white Christians. Talk about a sell out.

The PCA is sound. It's the PCUSA that competes with the Episcopalians for most woke.

The Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) is a theologically conservative U.S. evangelical Presbyterian denomination founded in 1973. It places heavy emphasis on the authority of Scripture and adheres to a Reformed tradition.
