On the September 15th show of “The Charlie Kirk Show”<\/a> podcast, right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk warned his listeners about what America could look like if Donald Trump doesn’t win the presidency again. He also called out those who are apathetic about the election, citing different reasons why they should care.<\/p>\n

“For those of you that say “Well, it really doesn’t impact me, I don’t care if Trump goes to prison.” Well, first of all, you absolutely should care. Because if we lose, they’re going to come after the churches, they’re going to come after the organizations, they’re going to come after the people, they’re going to come after the social media accounts, they’re going to come after the bank accounts, they’re going to come after every single person that played any form and role into trying to defend President Trump. But social media banning, following in the streets, targeting in every form and fashion.”<\/p>\n

“If we lose, if the President loses, they will come for us all. They will come for your children. They will come for your schools. They will come in every fashion. And they won’t stop. This idea that the left is all of sudden going to embrace the Christian ethic of forgiveness and moving on, is so short-sighted.”<\/p>\n

Kirk went as far as saying that the left would come for revenge should Biden win the election.<\/p>\n

“All of the plans of the ruling class were obliterated by a man who they don\u2019t think should even be invited to a cocktail party, let alone become President of the United States. They\u2019re going to come with bloodthirsty revenge.”<\/p>\n

Kirk’s remarks are not sitting well with all Christians. Joe Biden is a devout Catholic and has shared his faith with the American people many times before. Many of his supporters praise his religious background and have no fear that he would work to protect churches during his presidency.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove is more powerful than hate. Hope is more powerful than fear. Light is more powerful than dark,\u201d Mr. Biden said during the DNC.\u201dThis is our moment. This is our mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris Coons, Senator of Delaware, said of Biden’s faith: \u201cJoe\u2019s faith is really about our future, about a world with less suffering and more justice, where we’re better stewards of creation, where we have a more just immigration policy and where we call out and confront the original sins of this nation, the sins of slavery and racism. Joe knows these are central issues in this election. And for him, they’re rooted in faith.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
