Brad Hoylman said. &#8220;You know those medical tents being constructed in Central Park? They\u2019re being set up by notorious anti-gay bigot Franklin Graham. Mr. Graham must promise to treat EVERY patient with dignity and respect.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Graham responded to the senator&#8217;s repulsive comments during an interview on <a href=\"https:\/\/omny.fm\/shows\/toddcast\/mar-31-rep-ron-estes-franklin-graham-jeffrey-lord\">The Todd Starnes Radio Show<\/a>. He urged Americans to set aside politics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>&#8220;This virus is a tsunami that is hitting our shores. It&#8217;s killing Republicans. It&#8217;s killing Democrats. It&#8217;s killing independents,&#8221; Graham said. &#8220;And we just need to say forget the politics right now. Let&#8217;s work together to save lives.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>It&#8217;s unthinkable that anyone, much less a state lawmaker, would bully a bunch of Christians who simply want to provide medical treatment to critically ill New Yorkers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just for the record, I have no doubt that Reverend Graham will treat every patient with dignity and respect. It is a shame that Senator Hoylman is not treating Reverend Graham with dignity and respect.
