Most evangelists seem like frauds or hypocrites in my opinion. Billy Graham actually seemed legit and appeared to practice what he preached. Pretty impressive that he was a spiritual advisor to several US Presidents and many world leaders.
Does anyone have evidence to the contrary of the legitimacy of Billy Graham as an example of a true Christian?
Anyone ever attend one of his massive rallies and have a personal experience to share?

One of my favorite wrestlers in the eights. Hogan stole so much from him.

President Eisenhower got his fill of Billy and cut the tether.

I grew up in a very religious family and whenever Dr. Billy Graham’s crusade hit primetime TV back in the 70’s, my parents cancelled any plans that had at the time to watch him.

I think he tried to be a leader for Christ. When it was revealed on the Nixon tapes that he participated in anti Jewish and anti black conversations with Nixon. He was contrite. Certainly better than his son Franklin

Billy Graham seemed okay, but he raised a POS son so maybe he wasn't as great as he presented himself to be.

He’s one of the greatest that ever lived. He didn’t preach at you. He just showed you the way and left the actions up to you.

Honestly, I am skeptical of most evangelist, but Billy Graham did seem authentic and I think the fact he was a spiritual advisor to several US presidents and others in important positions do add to his credibility.
