Franklin Graham, son of the famed evangelist Billy Graham, just issued a statement in which he minimizes Donald Trump's "crude comments," attacks Hillary Clinton's "godless progressive agenda," and concludes that "the most important issue is the Supreme Court."
Four years ago, just as Trump was getting involved in politics, the Trump Foundation made one of its largest-ever donations to Graham's organization, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
Now, Graham is conducting a shadow campaign on behalf of Trump - claiming not to make an endorsement, but holding "prayer rallies" across the country and using apocalyptic rhetoric to denounce Hillary Clinton and President Obama.
The board of directors of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is dominated by members of the Graham family, but there are also two outside church leaders: George Battle, senior bishop of of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, and Greg Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship.
