This tweet from Veggie Tale creator Phil Vischer is wise and powerful. Eric, I love you, but your own book talks about Bonhoeffer's deep concern for the plight of blacks in America.

Oh I see how it is. Mike Bloomberg’s past harassment allegations get some press and Eric Metaxas finds his moral concern. Whoa. https://t.co/VFKKBVKY0C — Eric Metaxas (@ericmetaxas) February 16, 2020 I don’t think this was “whoa” as in “whoa, he is as much of a louse as Trump, maybe I should support him too.” I … Continue reading “Eric Metaxas Finds His Moral Whisper About Harassment Claims Against Mike Bloomberg”
David Barton (Left); Eric Metaxas (Right) Although this is entirely predictable, I want to preserve the moment.
