Frida Ghitis: Never Trump Christians are using smear-and-smear tactics to demonize those who oppose the president.

She says the ground for respectful disagreement in religious circles is shrinking.

Ghitis says Never Trumpers are even quicker to label their brethren as naive, bigoted, and grasping for power. They should concentrate on Jesus and the gospel, Ghitis writes.

Frida Ghitis : When asked if he could find anything notable in Trump ’s policies, French reluctantly cited a more controlled border.

Ghitis says he takes no responsibility for the sins of the radical Democrat leaders he supported.

French wraps his finger-pointing in compassion and Jesus language , but this sort of shaming is a bright red flag.
