Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, vocally opposed Trump during the primaries and the early part of the election campaign. He called evangelical support of Trump “illogical.” He went on to suggest that evangelicals might risk losing credibility among black people by supporting Trump: “When evangelicals should be leading the way on racial reconciliation, as the Bible tells us to, are we really ready to trade unity with our black and brown brothers and sisters for this angry politician?”
