PODCAST: Christianity Today’s Call for Trump’s Removal
Mark Galli, editor-in-chief of the former evangelical flagship magazine Christianity Today (CT) wrote a stunning editorial calling for President Trump’s removal from office via either impeachment or the next election. While acknowledging that “Democrats have had it out for him from day one, and therefore nearly everything they do is under a cloud of partisan suspicion,” Galli remarkably asserts that the case for Trump’s removal by hook or crook are indisputable:
But the facts in this instance are unambiguous: The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents. That is not only a violation of the U.S. Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral.
This statement is remarkable both for its factual inaccuracy and its manipulative diction. Trump didn’t attempt to coerce Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky “to harass and discredit” Joe Biden. He asked the president to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden for the influence-peddling corruption in which they appear to have participated.
