Is anyone in this community actively holding Franklin Graham to account for his lies? [View all]

I'm not a person involved in faith based communities, but I have a sister who is cult worshiper. Franklin Graham, and Donald Trump to be specific.

We just ended a telephone conversation a bit ago, which began with good cheer and laughter about a range of stuff, then suddenly she invoked President Biden's name with the term "evil" and "slime" and accused him of denigrating National Prayer day by refusing to use the term "God" in his remarks.

When i attempted to refute that notion, she invoked Franklin Graham's name as the truth teller and of course I challenged by accusing him of being a habitual liar. She hung the phone up. and that was that.

I just went to Snopes to see if it was a claim that had gone viral enough to be included in fact checking, and discovered that though he didn't use the term "God" , he did use the term "Lord". Additionally he used the term God twice at the conclusion of his National Prayer day remarks, as consistent with every address he makes.

I infer that Franklin Graham went on Fox or wherever and accused President Biden of denigrating National Prayer day by refusing to mention God in his address.

Does the word "Lord" no longer mean the same as "God" is one question I'm asking.

The second question: Does anyone here know if Franklin Graham is being held to account?
