Exploiting Billy Graham to woo evangelicals to vote for Kamala Harris justifies the fitting response from his son Franklin Graham. On X, Graham posted, “The liberals are using anything and everything they can to promote candidate Harris. They even developed a political ad trying to use my father Billy Graham’s image. They are trying to mislead people. Maybe they don’t know that my father appreciated the conservative values and policies of President Donald Trump in 2016, and if he were alive today, my father’s views and opinions would not have changed.”

Billy Graham would not be in favor of Harris’ policy of allowing males to pummel females in sports. For Harris, women’s sports are a backup option for envious narcissistic mediocre male athletes.

Billy Graham would not be in favor of the Harris policy of supporting the right to liquidate unborn children for any reason up to the day of birth and forcing taxpayers into funding the killing.

Not one, like others, to call him “Tampon Tim,” Billy Graham yet would not favor Harris’ VP pick Tim Walz mandating government-run schools in Minnesota to place tampons in restrooms for “menstruating students” (a subtle way of saying that males can menstruate too) in grades 4 -12 and foolishly declaring his state to be a “sanctuary” for out-of-state children seeking sex-changing drugs and body-altering procedures.

Billy Graham would not be in support of Harris’ identity politics agenda divisively segregating people into unbiblical culturally Marxist categories of gender expression and sexual orientation.

Being for law and order, Billy Graham would not support the lawlessness at our nation’s borders with appointed czar Kamala Harris AWOL at her job as child trafficking thrives, fentanyl pours in and drug cartels profit.

Billy Graham would not be in favor of her soft-on-crime, easy-on-criminals record and her coddling of BLM and Antifa property-destroying rioters bailed out, in part, through her personal donations to the left-leaning Minnesota Freedom Fund.

By no means a socialist, fascist, or crony capitalist, Billy Graham would not favor the fascism, socialism and crony capitalism cloaked in price controls and government-controlling measures over health care and energy that Harris has ardently desired and demanded.

As a faithful evangelist for the ministry of reconciliation through the gospel of Jesus Christ, Billy Graham would not be in favor of the political implications of Harris’ strong religious affiliation with and deep affection for her pastor Dr. Amos Brown who sat on a task force calling for reparations of up to 5 million dollars per “racially-correct” person in San Francisco.

Given the choice between “Evangelicals for Harris” and atheist Norm Carlson, Billy Graham would give his nod to Norm after writing in the Post Journal 8/17, “[Evangelicals] would rather have a sinner way off in Washington than a mob of them with the law on their side at their front door… I would be a fool, given a choice between bad and worse, to take worse.”

Given the choice between NY Times columnist David French, an “evangelical” for Harris who despises Trump for his personal sins and common citizen Scott Axelson’s commentary in the Post Journal 8/17, Graham would side with Scott for saying, “So who is more dangerous? The one with perceived moral failings, or the leftist ticket that actively promotes moral failings as part of public policy? Failing to vote against the leftist agenda would seem to be a major moral failing, from the evangelical perspective.”

Using an image of Billy Graham as a campaign prop for Harris is a sham pearl of cheap shifty politics.
