Franklin Graham’s comments came in this posting on his Facebook page.
- Shame on the politicians [including Romney] who are trying to push blame on President Trump for what happened in #Charlottesville, VA.
- That’s absurd.
- What about the politicians such as the city council who voted to remove a memorial that had been in place since 1924, regardless of the possible repercussions?
- How about the city politicians who issued the permit for the lawful demonstration to defend the statue?
- And why didn’t the mayor or the governor see that a powder keg was about to explode and stop it before it got started?
- Instead they want to blame President Donald J. Trumpfor everything.
- Really, this boils down to evil in people’s hearts.
- Satan is behind it all.
- He wants division, he wants unrest, he wants violence and hatred.
- He’s the enemy of peace and unity.
- [President Trump denounces bigotry and racism of every form.]
- “I denounce bigotry and racism of every form, be it black, white or any other.
- “My prayer is that our nation will come together.
- “We are stronger together, and our answers lie in turning to God.
- “It was good to hear that several Virginia and Charlottesville leaders attended church today at Mt. Zion.
- CNNsaid, “The racial divides that fueled Saturday’s violence were replaced by unity Sunday…”
- Continue to pray for peace and for all those impacted by Saturday’s tragedies.
One more time from Rev. Graham,
“Really, this boils down to evil in people’s hearts,” Graham said. “Satan is behind it all. He wants division, he wants unrest, he wants violence and hatred. He’s the enemy of peace and unity. I denounce bigotry and racism of every form, be it black, white or any other.”
Graham called on the nation to come together and turn to God.
“We are stronger together, and our answers lie in turning to God,” Graham said.
And he added: “Continue to pray for peace and for all those impacted by Saturday’s tragedies.”
finis End of Reverend Graham’s statement.
1. What we know about POTUS and Charlottesville?
2. What did President Trump say?
3. Look at the evidence.
4. Judge for yourself. He said:
5. “I think there is blame on both sides.
6. “You look at both sides.
7. “I think there is blame on both sides.
8. “You had some very bad people in that group.
9. “You also had some very fine people on both sides.”
10. “And you had people, and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.
11. “But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.”
12, “OK? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.”
13. “No, no. There were people in that rally, and I looked the night before.
14. “If you look, they were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee.
15. “I’m sure in that group there were some bad ones.
16. “The following day, it looked like they had some rough people – neo-Nazis, white nationalists, whatever you want to call them.
17. “But you had a lot of people in that group that were there to innocently protest and very legally protest, because you know – I don’t know if you know, they had a permit.
18. “The other group didn’t have a permit.”
19. “What about the alt-left that came charging at the, as you say, alt-right?
20. “Do they have any semblance of guilt?
21. “What about the fact they came charging with clubs in their hands?”
22. I couldn’t make a condemnation of hate groups earlier because I didn’t “know all the facts” about an alleged white nationalist who crashed a car into a crowd of protesters, killing one person and wounded 19 others.
23. “I wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians, that what I said was correct,”
P.S. IF CROWD GATHERER INDIVIDUALS AND COMPANIES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FUNDING AND OR GATHERING AND STOKING TO VIOLENCE THE CROWDS IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, CALL FOR THE FBI AND AG SESSIONS AND THE DOJ TO ARREST THE CROWD GATHERER INDIVIDUALS AND COMPANIES RESPONSIBLE AND PROSECUTE THEM AND LOCK THEM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!
For an American, patriotism is to champion the rights of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and the freedoms promised to all including BOTH the rights of women to choose and the rights to life of the unborn.

We all simply want to

ELIMINATE ABORTION WHILE HONORING THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN.*300,000,000 unborn American babies have been killed surgically and chemically since 1973 Roe vs Wade (50,000,000+ Black babies killed; 50,000,000+ Hispanic babies killed) Fix it now! Stop the genocide. Promote adoption. Abortion is collective insanity. You can do both. You can eliminate abortion altogether with adoption and other measures. You can uphold the rights of women at the same time. If you congressmen and congresswomen are statesmen and stateswomen, you will fix this. Signed Richard William “Wilberforce” Linford. Someone criticized comparing abortion to slavery. That is ludicrous. The point is someone must stand up and champion the cause of the unborn like William Wilberforce championed the cause of eradicating slavery. I am willing to do so. All who understand this carnage should do so as well.
RESPECT AND HONOR AND HELP THOSE OF ALL RACES, CREEDS, NATIONALITIES, AND PERSUASIONS.*Respect and Honor All as long as they are common law abiding! *Same with countries, so long as they are peaceful, hopefully pro-USA, and not bent on harming each other and Israel. And while you are at it, please get rid of all vestiges of political correctness.
“A person, a POTUS, a FLOTUS, a family, a business, a city, a county, a state, a region, a nation that honors God, that honors each other, that honors the unborn, will be increasingly blessed by God spiritually, physically, financially, and socially. The converse is also true.” RWL.
