Tell MAGA pastorsCondemn violent threats and racism against Trump prosecutors

Posted: Aug. 29, 2023

Nearly everyone involved in bringing the 91 felony charges against Donald Trump -- including Special Counsel Jack Smith, Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg -- is dealing with escalating threats of terrorism and violence.

The FBI is currently investigating new threats against Willis, including emails slandering her with racist and sexist obscenities. Far-right message boards are disseminating the personal contact information of grand jurors. And the Atlanta courthouse has received so many bomb threats that most of its employees are working remotely for their own safety.

Yet the far-right pastors who have condemned and politicized the indictments -- including Franklin Graham, Mike Huckabee, and "Trump's Top Pastor" Mark Burns -- have seemingly not said a word about these threats, despite helping create the charged, violent atmosphere.

Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and those who live by the sword die by the sword. It's irresponsible and wrong for these pastors who stoked the anger of Trump Republicans to now ignore the violent atmosphere they helped create. Let's join together as Christians and ask Trump's pastor friends to denounce these dangerous threats immediately.

Sign the petition:

To Franklin Graham, Mike Huckabee, Mark Burns, and other anti-indictment MAGA pastors:

In the wake of the multitude of criminal charges against former president Donald Trump, authorities have reported a dramatic increase in the number of credible threats of violence against the prosecutors, judges, public sector workers, and jurors involved in these prosecutions.

Regardless of one's personal politics, the Bible is very clear about the holiness of peace, and the evil nature of violence and revenge. As your siblings in Christ, we ask that you use your powerful platforms and religious authority within the MAGA movement to denounce the threats against Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, and others, and to call for peace and for respect for the legal process during this critical time.

Thank you.
