Courageously guarding the sanctity of religion is that porn-star paying, congressional-widow mocking, sexual-assaulting man of Two Corinthians, tweeting "I guess the magazine, 'Christianity Today,' is looking for Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, or those of the socialist/communist bent, to guard their religion." The magazine, continued Trump, "would rather have a Radical Left nonbeliever, who wants to take your religion & your guns, than Donald Trump as your President."
And by the way, he added, the magazine "has been doing poorly."
Sure enough, tagging along with Trump like a sniffling, sniveling little brother is Hugh Hewitt, who intones that Christianity Today "has now become just another
content provider … of the left-wing sort.
"The real cost here is borne by readers who will simply shrug off appeals to resubscribe or give the platform a try…. The entire enterprise … will suffer."
Says the editor of the doing-poorly, now-suffering enterprise: The magazine has "received a surge in donations and new subscribers."
But Hewitt's obliviousness had barely commenced. To wit: "Christians by the millions will be on both sides of [the 2020] election. They did not need, or ask for, this intervention in their deliberation."
The columnist's selectivity is so dazzling, it's evident to even a child. Christianity Today has no business intervening in evangelicals' political deliberations, writes Hewitt, yet he pens not a word about, for instance, Focus on the Family's James Dobson's immediate response to the magazine in listing "more than a dozen issues in which he believed Democrats would be worse than Trump, such as school choice, abortion, Israel, gay rights and 'men in women’s sports and boys in girls’ locker rooms.'" Or Franklin Graham, who on Facebook claimed that Dad had voted for Trump.
Having logically blundered once, Hewitt decides to go back for seconds. "By injecting Christianity into [politics, CT's editor] inevitably suggests … that people of the Christian faith are, in fact, obliged to condemn Trump."
As opposed to the thousands of Bible-banging, pulpit-thumping, right-winging Men of a GOP God who shall persist in dictating to their congregations — on penalty of their loving God's eternal fire — that they are, in fact, obliged to support Trump.
Still, Harvard-educated, Michigan Law-graduate Hugh Hewitt's stumbling, contradictory ramblings are no mystery. If one sets out to make a living defending Trump, then one must become as incoherent, cretinous and contradictory as the president himself.
