Evangelist Franklin Graham compared 10 members of the GOP to Judas Iscariot on Thursday after they voted to approve President Donald Trump's second impeachment.

"...the House Democrats impeached him because they hate him and want to do as much damage as they can," Graham wrote. "And these ten, from [Trump's] own party, joined in the feeding frenzy. It makes you wonder what the thirty pieces of silver were that [Democratic House] Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi promised for this betrayal."

for those evangelical 'leaders' so quick to jump on the apology tour train, behold a real leader

A domestic version of the axis of weasels

Was thinking that as I was reading crucifixion story last night.

“Give us Barabbas!”

Sharp contrast to the way the Graham family is portrayed to have responded in another publication:

that is beyond absurd. To compare an entrepreneur turned politician to our Lord and Savior borders on sacrilege, but since it comes from an evangelical protestant, I am not surprised. At all.

Excuse me, I meant the betrayal of. Damn. I was so angry at the heresy I lost my place momentarily

What a line-up! What role models for their children!

[lurk]

Yeah, not quite the same. Let’s leave Jesus alone in his class of betrayal.

History is full of leaders who turn on their guy when things get interesting. We can find other analogies.

I wonder if Franklin is related to Lindsey?

Good for Franklin Graham!!!

Name, shame and call out.

[pollywog]

He’s right on!! The betrayal of many has been astounding!
VP Pence being the main one for me! Shame on him. And he bears the Name of Christ. Sad ... just sad.

[pollywog]

?? You have got to be kidding. He is as solid as a rock!

[robel]

Graham didn’t make the comparison, Newsweek did.

[pollywog]

I add my BRAVO to your post!

I think of them like “Keefer” in the Caine Mutiny.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I gotta go with Franklin on this one. I see Gitmo in their futures.

These Republicans may have a hidden story to tell regarding their votes. What they did just doesn’t pass the smell test.
