Latter-day Saints laud Joe Biden at national event, say he reflects their values better than Trump
Salt Lake Tribune ^ | 8-15-20 | Lee Davidson

Posted on 08/16/2020 11:38:38 AM PDT by aMorePerfectUnion

Just before the Democratic National Convention kicks off Monday, Joe Biden’s campaign staged a national virtual event Saturday in which a parade of Latter-day Saints told fellow church members why they support the former vice president.

And sometimes they also said why they see President Donald Trump as wicked. It came during an event where participants opened and closed with prayer, quoted scriptures, repeated teachings of church leaders and sometimes shared testimonies that helped put Biden in a divine light.

“We can probably all agree that Donald Trump isn’t good or right,” said Abigail Woodfield, president of BYU College Democrats. “I see this election as a way to correct what is good and right in this world.”

Atlanta attorney Bryndis Roberts said, “On the one hand, we can continue with divisiveness and exclusion. Or, on the other hand, we can move forward in unity and inclusion. That’s why for me, as a Latter-day Saint and as a Black woman, I am supporting Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. [Kamala] Harris.”

And this...

“Also on Saturday, more than 200 Latter-day Saints signed an op-ed in The Arizona Republic opposing Latter-day Saints for Trump, saying it gives the impression that the church supports a president that signers said is the antithesis of many of its beliefs.”

"...president of BYU College Democrats. “I see this election as a way to correct what is good and right in this world.”

Shouldn't the headline be "Democrats laud Joe Biden" etc...

I respected LDS, but if they go for that ignorant *ss, that’s it for them and their saint RINOmney - patron saint of backstabbing, economic idiocy, and inability to think.

Typical fake news. A small group of woketard liberal “Mormons” is making noise. Utah will go comfortably to Trump.

When does slow Joe ever mention God? In citing the Declaration of Independence at some past mini rally he forgets or leaves out its reference to the Creator. Yeah you loony LDS’ers some paradigm of virtue is your beloved Biden. Spiritually blind idiots.
