On Friday, Pastor Franklin Graham responded to the criticism of his fellow evangelical leaders who continue to stand by Donald Trump despite the business mogul’s morally objectionable behavior, particularly the lewd sexual comments captured in the 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape.
Graham—who does not officially endorse political candidates in part because of the tax exempt status of his religious organization—pushed back against the idea that his evangelical peers were giving Trump “a pass” on his sexually aggressive and derogatory behavior. Trump, said Graham, “has taken full responsibility” for his 2005 comments, but his immoral behavior is not what is important anyhow. What matters, stressed the massively influential pastor, is the Supreme Court.
