Finally an evangelical with whom one can actually identify.....a Graham, no less!

Not Billy, of course

Not Franklin, of course

Jerushah Armfield, Billy’s granddaughter. Must be Franklin’s niece. Wonder what her mom is like

Just saw her with cnn guy who replaced Erin Burnett, Jim something

Not insane, venal, or irrational, even

Apparently, anyway

She said this a month ago, and much the same tonight:

The term evangelical “started to really represent, actually, a branch of Christians that seemed to be a little more conservative and a little bit more hypocritical, a little bit more willing to compromise on the personal morals of a candidate in lieu of what politically they could gain for their party,” Jerushah Armfield, Graham’s granddaughter, told CNN’s Pamela Brown.


Anybody catch this? Refreshing, to say the least.....bet she’s PNG among her own family, much less the rest of the mouthbreathing geebs her predecessors have duped for over fifty years

Putting it up in the tradition of man bites dog story

I wish more like her would speak out against the big mouths who now call themselves Evangelicals. Jerusha has it right. They are hypocrites who compromise their ethics to get what they want politically.

they show it in a kind of serene glow of people who have their affairs in order, their garages all organized, and nothing bothering their consciences.

She's explaining how it started to get so bad, all right. Wonder if Twitter's going to flood her with language corrections,though. She's not the first I've seen use "in lieu of" for "in view of." If that's what she's doing, a little confusing.

I believe she has active social media accounts, but I can't remember for sure.
