In December 2020, Mark Galli (born 1952), a former [[Presbyterian]] pastor and the retiring editor of the publication, ''Christianity Today,'' established years earlier by [[Billy Graham]], wrote an editorial endorsing the removal of [[U.S. President]] [[Donald Trump]], as two articles of [[impeachment]] were voted upon by the [[Democratic Party|Democrat]]-controlled [[U.S. House of Representatives]]. The articles were rebuffed by the narrow [[Republican Party|Republican]] majority in the [[United States Senate]]. A Trump supporter, Land called Galli a “useful idiot,” used by liberals.
