Evangelist Franklin Graham recently spoke more about the letter he sent President Donald Trump asking Trump to stop using “foul language” in his speeches.
Graham, who is the son of the late evangelist Billy Graham and the president and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, has been a vocal Trump supporter since 2016.
Trump first mentioned Graham’s letter during a rally in Philadelphia last June. Trump told the crowd that he doesn’t “want to use bad language” because Graham, whom Trump said he “likes so much,” wrote him a letter, saying, “Mr. President, I love your speaking. Your ability to speak is incredible. Your storytelling is great, but it could be so much better if you didn’t use foul language.”

Plugged In also noted that “Anora” uses the s-word over 40 times.

Jennifer also mentioned how players from the Philadelphia Eagles flippantly swore during a live Super Bowl celebration at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The Word of God says, “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak” (Matthew 12:36). President Donald J. Trump has mentioned several times publicly a letter I wrote to him about his use of “salty” language, and Jennifer Graham…
