Greenville, N.C. • The Rev. Franklin Graham did not utter the word “impeachment” as he spoke to thousands of Christians here this week, the latest stop on a long-running tour he has dubbed Decision America — a title with political and religious undertones.
But evangelicals who turned out to see Graham didn’t necessarily need his warning that “our country is in trouble” to tap into their deep-rooted support for President Donald Trump during an intensifying political crisis hundreds of miles north in Washington.
“I do feel like we are, as Christians, the first line of defense for the president,” Christina Jones, 44, said before Graham took the stage.
