“When I was told this would be the position of the paper, of the news site, I said that’s not something I can support,” Napp Nazworth, who announced on Monday that he had resigned from The Christian Post, told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day.”
“We’ve never sounded like that before. That’s not the types of positions we take in the past,” Nazworth told CNN on Thursday, adding that his former employer’s position on impeachment sounds like “some odd sort of conspiratorial thinking.”
He also likened the Christian news website to the far-right website Breitbart, which is supportive of the President and his policies.
“We all agreed back then and understood who Donald Trump was,” Nazworth said. “I didn’t change my mind about Donald Trump, but some of the other editors did.”
“I’m worried now that without me there, that, you know it will no longer be a place that presents the alternative view to team Trump and the evangelicals who support him,” Nazworth said.
He added that he didn’t want to leave.
“I warned them. If you go down this road and join team Trump, then that will destroy the reputation of The Christian Post,” Nazworth said, adding, “We had reached the impasse and I really had no other choice but to leave.”
CNN has reached out to The Christian Post for comment. In response to his initial resignation announcement, The Christian news website told CNN on Tuesday that it “does not normally discuss personnel matters” but that it’s “so very grateful for Napp’s contribution over these many years and we wish him the best.”
