Yes. Trump's lies are horrible. So are those of the pathological liar currently in the White House. Wallis seems to be trying to make Genocide Joe a hero. We need the church to be prophetic not try to protect the establishment as this post seems to do. Biden is not about protecting democracy. He and the DNC will not allow a democratic process to pick the 2024 Democratic Presidential candidate. Knowing that a large majority of grassroots Democrats oppose nominating Biden, they are doing everything in their power to prevent a democratic process for the nomination (as crazy as the Republicans are, they are allowing a mostly democratic process to choose their candidate).

The President is backing genocide and bombing country after country. His many war crimes should disqualify him from office. He is also a big friend of fossil fuel interests, having supported more new fossil fuel projects than any predecessor and leading the U.S. to be a bigger contributor to global climate change. On race, note his history of opposing desegregation, arguing that there is no advantage to having different ethnic groups in the same schools, and seeking (fortunately unsuccessfully) to weaken the Civil Rights Act. He is an unprincipled opportunist, the kind of leader the prophets of old railed against. I wish Jim Wallis would return to his prophetic days and not support the corrupt establishment.
