A Southern Baptist blog run by a member of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission’s Leadership Council posted a hate-filled rant against President Donald Trump. The post was written by a former employee of the Southern Baptist Convention’s International Mission Board. The blog post called the president racist for pointing out the truth—that Baltimore is a rat-infested city.
The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, another SBC entity, led by noted anti-Trump Russell Moore previously published an essay on its website by the writer on an unrelated topic. However, the link between Southern Baptist employees and Never Trump feelings is a growing problem for the denomination.
