Jim Wallis, president and founder of Sojourners, took to social media to express his opposition to the message of the State of the Union speech.

In a post on Twitter Tuesday night, Wallis called the address “virtually all lies” and said that the actions of the president “are the opposite of his talk.”

“Trump deceives as a plan and strategy. He is so much more than a bad President, he is a bad man. He doesn’t just do cruel and evil things, he is a cruel and evil man. And he must be stopped,” Wallis tweeted.

Wallis also tweeted that he considered the speech a “deliberate deception in deep character with an authoritarian leader.”
