Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.
Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

You can condemn murder and political violence without whitewashing Charlie Kirk's shameful history of hate, racism, white nationalism and promotion of dangerous conspiracies that radicalized Trump supporters to violence.

According to the New Testament, both Mary and Jesus were refugees, people Donald hates and undermines. They sought safety in Egypt when Herod threatened the lives of children. Trump would have turned them away, allowing Jesus to die, and Christianity along with him. Let that sink in, Evangelicals.
