Every Sunday like clockwork, David French—the so-called "evangelical conservative" writing for the radical left New York Times—publishes yet another sanctimonious lecture aimed at the very Christians he claims to represent. And Patriots, it's getting old fast.
French has made a lucrative career out of being the "reasonable conservative" that liberals love to quote when they need someone to bash Trump supporters and traditional evangelicals. But here's the truth the mainstream media won't tell you: a turncoat who consistently attacks his own community isn't a principled conservative—he's just a useful tool for the establishment.
The Sunday Scold Routine
Week after week, French uses his platform at the Times to "hector evangelicals for all their supposed" failings, as the Daily Wire correctly points out. While millions of faithful Christians celebrated President Trump's return to office and the restoration of constitutional values, French has spent years undermining the very movement that gave conservatives their biggest victories.
This is the same David French who spent the Trump years clutching his pearls over mean tweets while ignoring the incredible policy wins for religious liberty, pro-life causes, and constitutional originalism. Where was his praise when Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem? When he appointed three Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade?
"A kind heretic is still a heretic," as the saying goes, and French's gentle tone doesn't mask his fundamental opposition to the America First agenda that real conservatives embrace.
The reality is simple: French found his niche as the "conservative" who validates liberal talking points about evangelicals being too political, too Trump-friendly, and too unwilling to bow to elite opinion. It's a comfortable gig that pays well and earns applause from all the right Manhattan cocktail parties.
But Patriots see right through it. While French writes columns from his ivory tower, real evangelicals are fighting school boards, defending parental rights, and celebrating the Trump administration's aggressive push to restore traditional American values.
The question every Sunday should be: Why does anyone still take seriously a "conservative" whose primary audience is liberals looking for ammunition against their own neighbors?
