Franklin Graham does not deserve to be quoted on any morality issue. He is an unmitigated fraud.

If they stopped quoting unmitigated frauds tnewspapers would shrink @ 80%. Bad news for the lumber companies!

As long as you say that you are against abortion, Evangelicals will support you. Abortions are decreasing, so the next demand will be opposing use of birth control pills.There will always be an issue that Evangelicals will make divide.Trump paid off a porn star. It is likely that he paid for an abortion at some point. Trump would still maintain Evangelical Support. Evangelicals never had a moral compass. Southern Baptists have the “Southern” in their name because they separated from other Baptists over the issue of slavery. Southern Baptists were in favor of slavery. Southern Baptists supported Jim Crow laws. Evangelicals have always felt morally superior. They never question their actions until decades later.

Graham and Perkins are prime reasons Americans are exiting “Christianity”.

Edit to add:
Former RNC chair Michael Steel tells the Evangelicals to “shut the Hell up and don’t preach to me anymore”

Nice, Michael. Comments are good too. Maybe there is hope.

This tribe is dying out,.points out FiveThirtyEight.com
Those of the type like Graham are clinging to what I would label "irrationalizations", as they imagine they won a little battle with the Trump election, when in reality they are losing the culture war they basically started back in the day with "the Christian Coalition." They refuse to see Trump's personal culture as more evidence that they are losing, instead they imagined he's a savior based on a few demagogic promises. As more millennials start voting and more of them die, it will get even worse.
And so someone like Michael Steele, who understands the political implications and the demographics inside and out, feels free to not only stop pandering, but dis them as I think he probably always would have liked to be able to do. I've saw him denounce them again on the tube tonight for hypocrisy about the Stormy story, and I sense there was a certain glee in being able to do so.

Steele's still rather young - I guess his career arc is over and he's been sidelined for a number of years, but yeah, could deal with his type again - not sure I see it happening.

All the more strikes me that one can't even begin to predict what's going to happen to the Republican party after Trump is done. Day in, day out, Trump's antics are changing it, pushing a new set of buttons?

Just to cheer you up, the off-topic opinion of another Christian:
