Franklin Graham: The Media Fosters Anti-Christian Hate

“We’ve seen a rise in antisemitism around the world. This is very concerning – many Jewish people feel unsafe, even in this country where we thought antisemitism would never thrive. But we have also seen a rise in hatred or ‘disdain,’ as Fox News puts it, against Christians.

“This is fueled largely by agenda-driven media. They try to demonize Christians who are conservatives and people who support conservative candidates like Donald J. Trump, as if MAGA is a bad word.

“The left-wing media has tried labeling people as Christian nationalists to make it seem like that’s the threat facing America today. They are fostering hate.

“Jesus said, ‘If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you’ (John 15:18). No question, there’s an anti-Christ spirit in the world today.” – Franklin Graham, posting to his Facebook page.

Graham fails to note that many recent crimes against Christian churches have come because those churches support immigrants, LGBTQs, and other targets of the Christian right.
