The evangelical magazine founded by the Rev. Billy Graham called President Trump's phone call to the Ukrainian president "profoundly immoral" and called for him to be removed from office.

Claiming they prefer "to stay above the fray and allow Christians with different political convictions to make their arguments in the public square," editor-in-chief Mark Galli asserted in a Thursday editorial that the moral turpitude of Trump requires the publication to support his removal.

Appealing to Graham's legacy of expressing political opinions in "conviction and love," Christianity Today wrote that while they "love and pray for our president," the case against Trump is "unambiguous."

"The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents," the publication said, referring to Trump requesting in a July 25 phone call that Ukraine investigate the alleged corruption of the Biden family. "That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral," the magazine continued.

The article went on to slam Trump for having "dumbed down the idea of morality in his administration" and because "his Twitter feed alone — with its habitual string of mischaracterizations, lies, and slanders — is a near perfect example of a human being who is morally lost and confused."

Citing the president's achievements for people of faith, the magazine asserted that "none of the president’s positives can balance the moral and political danger we face under a leader of such grossly immoral character." Referencing their rebuke of President Bill Clinton in 1998 for "unsavory dealings and immoral acts," they claimed that "the words that we applied to Mr. Clinton 20 years ago apply almost perfectly to our current president."

Accusing them of hurting their witness for Jesus Christ, Christianity Today closed out its editorial by rebuking evangelicals who continue to support the president, writing, "Remember who you are and whom you serve." As a final warning, the magazine issued the ominous prediction that evangelical support of Trump "will crash down on the reputation of evangelical religion and on the world’s understanding of the gospel."

Christianity Today was founded in part by Graham in 1956 out of "a deep-felt desire to express historical Christianity to the present generation." Graham's son, Franklin Graham, has been a staunch supporter of the president and has claimed "a demonic power" is fueling the fury behind his impeachment.

UPDATE: Franklin Graham issued a scathing statement on Facebook in response Thursday, writing in part, "For Christianity Today to side with the Democrat Party in a totally partisan attack on the President of the United States is unfathomable."
