Wasn't sure whether or not to put this in US General Discussion.  Here might be better.

THE REBUKE FROM AN influential Christian publication that President Donald Trump should be removed from office is renewing attention on the Republican president's unlikely alliance with evangelical Christian voters and presenting a test of what has been nearly unwavering support since he first ran for office.

The editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, which was founded in 1956 by the late Rev. Billy Graham, published an op-ed Thursday arguing for Trump's removal in light of the House's historic vote this week to impeach him for an abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Mark Galli noted that the Christian publication typically stays away from making political statements but said it was necessary because of the gravity of the situation.

...

In response to the op-ed, Trump tweeted several times Friday lashing out at Christianity Today and accusing the publication of wanting to replace him with a "Radical Left nonbeliever who wants to take your religion and your guns."

"I guess the magazine, 'Christianity Today,' is looking for Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, or those of the socialist/communist bent, to guard their religion. How about Sleepy Joe? The fact is, no President has ever done what I have done for Evangelicals, or religion itself!" he tweeted.

Trump also thanked Graham's son, Franklin Graham, for saying that the late reverend voted for him in the 2016 election. Franklin Graham criticized Christianity Today for the story and even Galli said he doesn't expect his call for Trump's removal to persuade evangelical Christians.
