“Wallis and company however immediately claimed racial bias and began inserting race into the matter.”
Now, that’s a surprise. /
White people should not be allowed to be ministers.

What’s the difference
According to the BLM Bundy had no land use rights because he refused to pay the grazing fees. So from their standpoint they were acting lawfully.
We really can’t obey or morally respect a “lawful” authority that gives illegal & unconstitutional orders.
I don't disagree with you in theory. But it gets back to the question of who gets to decide if an order is illegal or unconstitutional? Or do we, as Graham seems to be suggesting, assume that any order from any person in authority, be it police or prosecutor or BLM or TSA or any other government abbreviation, is giving a lawful order merely because of the position they hold?
Says who?
Yeah. Look at what they did to Jesus.

The key here is “LAWFUL authority”.
The BLM is NOT a lawful authority, neither were the mercenaries they hired to do their killing for them.
On the other hand, the police in Ferguson telling the bloody thug Brown to get out of the street ARE lawful authorities. They weren’t asking Brown to surrender anything. They weren’t destroying his personal property under color of “law”.
They made a simple, legitimate demand that he get out of the bloody street. His response was to punch the cop and try to steal his gun to kill him with it.
VERY, VERY different circumstances, doncha think?
The point you seem to be making has some validity. And the answer is that if you reject the authority of any person or persons, then you must be willing to accept the consequences. Further, when force is countered with force, war ensues. And so it goes. Hopefully you are not advocating war in the streets, but that would be the direct consequence deriving from your analysis.
From the article...”These political leftists are opportunists. They decry things for political purposes when in reality they are seeking attention, platforms, and power.”
If they’re unloading on Franklin Graham heavily as this...you can be sure that in time Christians will rise and push back......there needs to come a tipping point for Christians and we’re not quite there yet.
Franklin Graham is stepping up and the media's beginning to cover him doing so more and more......the people need to see ‘the difference’ instead of being silenced time and again.
Our God is a God of “distinctions”....and our country has lost sight of what they are by the liberals “reign” of terror across this nation.....to expose them there needs to be Christian leadership taking the stage to show those distinctions....and Christians need to do likewise.
