Time to end Franklin Graham's tax-exempt status as he blames Renee Good and begs for "prayers for Trump"

One option would have been to shut the fuck up and keep his opinion to himself. The headline tells the tale, I'm not going to post the content here. The link is provided if you want it. My reason for posting is expressed in my subject line. A "preacher" should not be allowed to "pontificate" in this manner and still enjoy a tax-exempt status.

I thought he disappeared into the woodwork after the failed coup attempt.

Yes I agree he should lose his tax-exempt status, as all the fake preachers should.

The law, part of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), bans non-profit organizations exempt from federal income tax, like churches, from endorsing candidates, contributing money to campaigns, or issuing statements for or against specific political candidates.
