  “the liberal democrats are openly hostile to christians,” said graham in an interview on wehw radio. “we won’t survive four more years of democrat-led government. i can see them rounding christians up and putting us in death camps unless we follow their laws that want to grant special rights to gays and transgender people.”
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  there was no truth to the above-quoted article. the business standard news (i.e., bs news) is satirical site that does not publish factual stories:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  the business standard news is a satirical site designed to parody the 24-hour news cycle. the stories are outlandish, but reality is so strange nowadays they could be true.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  franklin graham did not issue a warning about death camps, nor has he endorsed any candidate in the 2016 presidential election. graham said that it was important for evangelicals to be involved in the political process, but that he would not endorse any candidate.
