Franklin Graham Denounces Obama For “Interfering” In France’s Election By Endorsing “Leftist” Macron

“Here we go again. Headlines about one country interfering in another country’s elections. Yesterday former President Barack Obama came out with an endorsement that is being called a ‘last-minute intervention’ for Emmanuel Macron, France’s leftist candidate for president. When President Obama was in office, he also tried to influence Israel’s election by supporting the candidate against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even using hundreds of thousands of U.S. taxpayer dollars in the effort to defeat him. I’d definitely call that interference!

“Why are the Democrats still crying today that Russia’s President Putin allegedly interfered with our presidential election? Isn’t that pretty hypocritical? The Bible warns us about hypocrisy. The One I want to intervene in elections is Almighty God. We can have a powerful influence through prayers as we ask God to intervene for His purposes. The Bible says, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective” (James 5:16). – Franklin Graham, posting to his Facebook page.
