NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Evangelist Franklin Graham told a crowd of thousands at the Tennessee Capitol on Tuesday to pray for the country and vote for candidates that stand for biblical principles.
“I’m going to say something that’s going to make some people angry,” Graham said. “I have zero hope in the Republican party. I have zero hope in the Democratic party.
“The only hope for the United States of America is almighty God.”
Graham told reporters after the rally that he has been a Republican most of his life but left the party last year because he was fed up with it.
During the rally he said politicians are too concerned with being politically correct. Asked later about the veto of a Tennessee bill that would have made the Bible the state book, Graham said he was not surprised.
