Despite LDS Church rules against top leaders contributing to political candidates, federal election reports indicate that popular Latter-day Saint apostle Dieter Uchtdorf made 13 donations last year and early in 2021, totaling nearly $2,300, to Democratic Party funds and candidates, including Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.

DFU is claiming a family member made the donations from on online account with his name on it. Not sure if a family member is trolling him or he is trying to blame someone for his violation of church policy. Both would be very Mormon things to do.

That’s hilarious.

DFU takes another step In the wrong direction.

Uchtdorf's family was exercising their rights as naturalized American citizens. I am pleased to learn of this because it might enable some LDS families to vote their pocketbook rather than what they believe to be the desires of their Authorities. I wish he would go a step further, for the sake of Central and South Utah residents, and deny that Trump is the new messiah. Utah desperately needs the honesty that a two-party system can bring to government.

I say three cheers to the Uchtdorf family for trying to make their adopted country a better place. A regime based on white nationalism and a mountain of lies is a bad thing for the Church, even if most members remain bamboozled by Trump's appeal to their baser hatreds and instincts. Thank God for the Uchtdorf's power of discernment.

I find it disturbing that this is even an issue.

It’s only an issue because he broke their own rules. Maybe he didn’t read his new apostle handbook very close? Or perhaps he lost a handball bet with E. Gong?

omg I knew Uchtdorf was a filthy communist omg omg
