We can't let a Republican official use Christianity to 'lynch' someone

As pastors in the state of Arizona, we are concerned about the toxic polarization that has taken hold in our state and the weight it is adding to the souls of our neighbors.

A video recently surfaced that showed violent rhetoric toward an Arizona public servant. It deserves the rebuke of Christians in our state – and all people of goodwill.

Maricopa County Republican official Shelby Busch told an audience that if Republican Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer were in the room with them, she would “lynch him.”

This was not only a call to violence. It is a term that carries a particularly disturbing connotation in the history of our country.
