Donald is now bigly pissing off his evangelical base. Will they too condemn this idiocy, or blindly follow their Cheeto Jesus and accept his YUUUGEST lie yet about how this is all the Democrats fault? I pray the former.
Faith Leaders Oppose Trump's Immigration Policy Of Separating Children From Parents
A Trump administration policy of separating children from their parents on the U.S. border has prompted a crescendo of criticism among religious leaders.
They span different faiths, denominations and ages. Some of them have also helped the president gain support for his base.
About 11,000 children are in shelters, according to the Office of Refugee Resettlement. Nearly 2,000 children were removed from the care of their parents and taken into federal custody between April 19 and May 31, an immigration official said Friday.
That practice effectively "weaponizes" children, Archbishop of Miami Thomas Wenski told NPR's Weekend Edition on Saturday. "Basically the administration has, in deciding to separate children from their parents, [tried] to weaponize children, using them as a leverage against the parents applying for their asylum applications."
He said that border agents and administration should "use their conscience," while policymakers should do some "soul searching."
Evangelical leader Franklin Graham, son of "America's pastor" Billy Graham and a prominent Trump supporter, told the Christian Broadcasting Network on Tuesday, "It's disgraceful, and it's terrible to see families ripped apart and I don't support that one bit."
