To the editor:
A letter writer objected to the idea expressed by Sarah Posner in an op-ed piece that any of Donald Trump’s evangelical loyalists ever said that the president was “divinely anointed,” calling it “misinformation” and asking who has ever said such a thing. Here’s a short list:
Last November, former Energy Secretary Rick Perry said that Trump is “here at this chosen time because God ordained it.”
Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham, said in June 2019, “God was behind the last election.”
Brad Parscale, Trump’s campaign manager, said in April 2019, “Only God could deliver such a savior to our nation.”
In addition, Trump evangelical advisory board leader Paula White, former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) have all expressed similar sentiments.
Maybe Posner was not so far off after all.
