Tucker: This Isn’t Christianity

Tucker Carlson delivers a scathing critique of Franklin Graham's appearance at the White House, where Graham allegedly endorsed the murder of civilians by quoting from the Book of Esther. Carlson finds it significant and troubling that Graham chose to reference the Book of Esther, which he notes is the only book in the Bible that doesn't mention God, when discussing Christianity with the president. He suggests this choice was deliberate because Graham couldn't mention Jesus in this context. Carlson contrasts this approach with what he sees as Jesus's actual message, describing Jesus as 'God come to earth, the Christian Messiah who allows himself to be tortured to death by pagans' to demonstrate that real victory comes not through killing people but through victory over death itself. He argues that this fundamental difference shows that the message from Christian leaders at the White House yesterday was the complete opposite of Jesus's teachings. Carlson concludes that while these leaders may be practicing something other than Christianity, the more important point is that this represents 'the end of something' - presumably the end of authentic Christian leadership or Christianity itself.
