Amy Sullivan, journalist and author of The Party Faithful: How and Why Democrats Are Closing the God Gap, responded to an Associated Press story that noted the history of past presidents signing Bibles.

“What the piece actually finds is that Trumpvangelicals don't have a problem with it & that people inscribe Bibles all the time. Which isn't what Trump did,” tweeted Sullivan.

“My grandparents gave me my first Bible. They wrote their names inside, [with] an inscription. They didn't autograph the cover.”

Sullivan also took issue with the claim of some that the autographing of the Bible was requested, adding that “if my five-year-old ever meets Amy Grant, he might ask her to autograph his forehead. You’re the adult—if it’s not right, it’s not right.”
