Trump calls Christianity Today 'far left magazine' after editorial called for his removal from office

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump, who has attacked many news organizations during his career in politics, found a new target Friday: Christianity Today, the faith-focused magazine founded by the iconic evangelical preacher Billy Graham.

Trump lashed out at the publication, calling it a "far left magazine" on Twitter the day after Christianity Today posted an editorial calling for him to be removed from office. Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives on Wednesday and faces possible removal in a Senate trial next year.

"Christianity Today, knows nothing about reading a perfect transcript of a routine phone call and would rather have a Radical Left nonbeliever, who wants to take your religion & your guns, than Donald Trump as your President," Trump said.

In an editorial posted on Thursday, Christianity Today said the House was justified in approving impeachment articles over allegations Trump pressured Ukraine into investigating political opponent Joe Biden.

to expect they will spread such a ridiculous talking point that Christianity Today is leftist. But in the past they have proven to be his loyal puppets incapable of critical thinking.

They have been moaning about people taking away one's guns for the last f**king 50 years, and they still haven't taken 1 single gun away. Not one. When people say this, I will demand 'prove it' when one says this nonsense...prove it.
