Pastor Franklin Graham says ‘Dems and liberal media want coronavirus shutdowns to continue so they can beat Trump’
PASTOR Franklin Graham has said that Democrats and liberal media want the coronavirus shutdowns to continue so that they can beat Trump in the 2020 elections.
The religious figure made the bold statement on Twitter on Friday.
Graham wrote: “In listening to Democratic politicians & liberal media, it seems they’d like to see this shut-down drag out & further weaken the economy—not to save lives—but to try to use this to defeat @realDonaldTrump in the election.
“Pray for the President, that God will give Him wisdom.”
The state shutdowns have lead to mass protests throughout the country this weekend.
The pastor’s comments came just one day before Trump also ripped the Democrats on Twitter.
In a series of tweets, Trump wrote: “No matter what you do for the Do Nothing Democrats, no matter how GREAT a job you are doing, they will only respond to their Fake partners in the Lamestream Media in the negative, even in a time of crisis.
“I thought it would be different, but it’s not. In fact, it’s even worse…”
He continued: “They were RUDE and NASTY. This is their political playbook, and they will use it right up to the election on November 3rd.
“They will not change because they feel that this is the only way they can win. America will not be fooled!!!”
