When the Republican National Convention officially adopted its 2024 party platform, the president of the Log Cabin Republicans – a pro-homosexual group affiliated with the GOP – issued an email calling the adoption of the platform an historic moment both for the party and the country. Charles Moran continued:
"This platform sends a powerful message to LGBT conservatives across the country that we are not only welcome in the Republican Party, but part of the movement to Make America Great Again."
Jenna Ellis, a former attorney for President Donald Trump, doesn't like what that bodes for the Republican Party.
"I was very disappointed, but not shocked at all, to read that statement from the Log Cabin Republicans," she shares. "… This is ultimately the trajectory of a GOP that wants to be so inclusive that it is excluding Christian moral priorities from its platform."
As reported last week by AFN, Ellis criticized the 2024 party platform – reportedly endorsed personally by Trump – for "excising the definition of marriage" as well as "watering down" the pro-life language found in previous versions. "It also watered down [the party's stance on] fetal tissue research, and specifically talking about God our Creator endowing us with the right to life."
But Ellis argues Christians cannot just abandon the GOP.
"There are people who would say, Well, we just need to make sure that we preserve our access, and so we don't want to offend. And then my question would be: Then what good is your counsel if you are not willing to say the truth and speak the truth when given the opportunity?"
Ellis says Christians can't go off on their own and start their own "Christian Party."
"That's not going to be effective," she emphasizes. "I think that we need to still be in the room as much as possible. We still need to be giving that Godly advice."
Ellis hosts a daily program on American Family Radio.
