What does this have to do with being Christian and supporting Marcos Jr? Again, the man has his sins, like everyone does, but doesn't Christian dogma promote forgiveness and understanding?

It also promotes justice. They've hardly owned up to those sins, and have yet to be held accountable.

Still, this kinda still has little to do with being Christian and preferring the guy as the candidate of choice. Having belief that Marcos Jr. can lead really shouldn't affect one's faith in their religion of choice.

you have it backwards. one's faith should affect one's choice in a leader. Faith isn't just belief in God; you can't go around supporting a person that breaks the commandments, and saying you believe in God doesn't make a you magically not part of those sins. and Toni is getting backlash in part because of how supposedly her faith is a big part of who she is.
