Rel.Ad Urges Republicans to Vote against Trump; Says Trump's Actions,Rhetoric Mock Christianity

A new political ad calls on Republican Christian voters to turn against Donald Trump this November, arguing the president's rhetoric and actions are out of step with their faith, the Religion News Service website reports today (July 16, 2020).

The ad -- released on July 14 -- features several Republicans discussing Trump and his presidency, as a piano softly plays the hymn "Amazing Grace" in the background.

The speakers juxtapose Trump's rhetoric and behavior -- such as a video in June of a supporter shouting "white power" -- alongside appeals to Christian teaching and Scripture.

"I was taught the principle that we should love our neighbor as ourselves," a Republican says in the ad.
