    Christianity Today says it saw a spike in subscriptions after it called for Trump's removal
    By Scottie Andrew, CNN
    Updated 11:04 AM ET, Mon December 23, 2019

    (CNN)After it published an op-ed calling for President Donald Trump's removal for office, Christianity Today says it's seen a boost in readership.
    Mark Galli, the editor-in-chief of the leading evangelical publication, made the remarks during an interview with the Rev. Al Sharpton on MSNBC on Sunday.

    The editorial, he said, divided readers -- but support outweighed criticism.
    "Although we've lost hundreds of subscribers, we've gained three times as many subscribers," he told Sharpton.

    ... https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/23/politics/christianity-today-mark-galli-trump-op-ed-trnd/index.html​

    Seems that outside of the alt-right alternate reality shaped by Trump, Fox and fake news, people generally agree with Democrats, Christianity Today and the rest of the sane, rational world.

    You have to keep in mind that a majority of Americans voted for trump's opponent in the election even though Russia and Comey did their best to undermine her.

    Anything against Trump sells. Buy my new book: "Trump is Ba'a'a'd, Mkay"

    No surprise Galli is talking to the lying race hustler Sharpton. Every other evangelical magazine and leader I've seen comment has opposed Galli's rant, and Franklin Graham condemned it, saying his father voted for Trump. Apparently Billy was a deplorable, or probably a Russian asset. I'm pretty familiar with that world, and CT has long been know as getting more liberal since Graham was associated with them. If you like race hustling, political correctness, promotion of illegal immigration, and social justice and 'gun violence' issues, CT is your magazine.

    Galli complains about Trump but hangs out with this racist tax dodger. Like the 'Rev'. Jesse Jackson, I've never heard Sharpton say anything religious.

    Galli was anti-Trump long before the Ukraine excuse. His statement wasn't factual and was just a regurgitation of Dem talking points.

    CNN... Sharpton... Galli's biased Op-ed and that he's a complete NOBODY in the broader Christian world. But 0 FACTS or specific numbers in the OP?

    Sure I believe them. ROFL.

    How do you know it's a lie besides the above tells? The tell that instead of simply saying "We lost XXX subscriptions but gained YYY subscriptions" he uses a mixed "hundreds/three times" transparent, vague dodge.

    Moreover, no magazine with 100k paid subscription "speaks for" anyone, let alone the tens of millions of fundamentalist Christians in the country. It's a repetitive lie that such a small outlet speaks for ANYTHING or ANYONE.

    But you know what? Keep banging this particular narrative, LW, keep duping threads instead of posting in the several already on this topic, this kind of canard does nothing but PO Christians generally and put more seats on the Trump Train. They never ever learn, and that's why they lose and lose, will keep on losing.

    Seems logical since this turned into a great advertising opportunity for them. I'm a Christian and never heard of them until they were promoted all over the place.

    80% of evangelicals did, and still do support Trump.

    100% of whom probably limit their political news and information intake to the likes of Sean Hannity.

    You forgot their deplorables and probably Russian assets.

    Turns out Hannity was right about the Russia hoax and FISA abuses all along.

    Insulting your opponents won't win them over. Apparently you think evangelicals can only vote for those just like them, like some sort of RW identity politics. Can an evangelical not ever vote for a Jew or atheist?

    There was no "Russia hoax." Just Trump whining endlessly about the investigation into Russian interference in the election and the possible involvement of his campaign. Apropos, his campaign chairman shared polling data with Russian intelligence during the campaign :/

    Sorry, the Mueller report found no collusion. He probably knew that when he started, one of the IG's questions was why wasn't it shut down in early 2017 given what was then known.

    Actually, it isn't just Trump complaining about that investigation but the IG, Barr and Durham. The exposure of this scandal is just beginning. The IG report basically confirmed what Nunes has been saying for a long time.
