From New York Magazine: The group behind the 68-bed center is Samaritan’s
Purse, run by Evangelical Trump pal Franklin Graham. According to NBC New
York, “The group asks health care workers and volunteers to adhere to a
statement of faith, which opposes same-sex marriage.” Local officials, including
City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, are raising concerns about the group.
Johnson called it “extremely troubling that he and his organization are
involved in our relief efforts in any way” (NY Magazine).
From Seth Mandel: Seriously
don’t be fooled into thinking this is a thing. It doesn’t exist outside of
journo twitter. No one else even thinks to ask a mayor in the midst of his city’s
deadly pandemic whether it should really be legal for Christians to give
charity (Twitter).
