A Who’s-Who of conservative evangelical leadership have signed a statement upholding the claim that Trump won the recent presidential election.
The evidence overwhelmingly shows officials in key battleground states—as the result of a coordinated pressure campaign by Democrats and allied groups—violated the Constitution, state and federal law in changing mail-in voting rules that resulted in unlawful and invalid certifications of Biden victories.
There is no doubt President Donald J. Trump is the lawful winner of the presidential election. Joe Biden is not president-elect.
Coincidentally — or perhaps not — the current draft of the statement was issued yesterday, the day that the Electoral College met to vote.
Undoubtedly a lot of evangelicals — oblivious to the cynical manipulations of their leaders — will read this statement and conclude that, Yep, there really is something hinky about Biden’s victory.
It’s possible, I suppose, that some of the signers of that letter actually believe it — but I doubt that. I can much more easily believe they’re cynically exploiting disappointed Trump supporters, and that the “stolen election” is going to become a long-running fundraising device.
