A ‘Christian’ organization has launched a petition against Donald Trump’s 2024 Presidential bid, garnering nearly 15,000 signatures from like-minded Christians, specifically those who say they do not want him to run.
The group, Faithful America, is a progressive leftist organization run by the Rev. Nathan Empsall (he/him), a lost Episcopalian priest. They have seen some activism successes, such as “helping Catholic students win justice for their fired gay principal” and “defeating a fracking pipeline with Catholic sisters in Kentucky.” According to their website, their mission is:
“…fighting for social, economic, and racial justice, standing with the Black Lives Matter movement and upholding the Gospel’s values of love, equality, and dignity. Together, we’re helping make a difference for immigrants, refugees, the climate, the LGBTQ community, and more.”
The group has set a new goal of 20,000 Christian signees. While they have not endorsed any candidate, they are deeply opposed to Trump running again, explaining:
We don’t know much yet out how the 2024 election will play out, but one thing is certain: Another Trump presidency would be a disaster for our country.
The insurrectionist ex-president — who infamously tear-gassed peaceful protesters to take a photo-op with a Bible outside an Episcopal church that didn’t support him — repeatedly weaponized religion in his last two campaigns, and 2024 will be no different. Multiple power-hungry pastors and Christian-nationalist leaders like Mike Huckabee, Mark Burns, and Eric Metaxas are already lining up to stand with him, falsely pretending they speak for all Christians.
It is unlikely to sway Trump from running.
