"This could be our finest hour—think about it. It's when all hope seems lost when God parts the waters, when He splits the Red Sea. I think this could be a Red Sea moment for you and me and America's story right now. We're people of faith, we have eyes to see the goodness and faithfulness of God when His people turn to Him." -Kirk Cameron

During a Wednesday segment of the ABC talk show, Joy Behar began by stating, "It was a rough night for everybody I think", and suggested both she and Goldberg are on Trump's "enemies list."

In response, Bure expressed her surprise over the election results—but said she wasn't disappointed: "My heart is beating so fast. I am a little nervous to even speak today. I honestly didn't think... Donald was going to win, and I can't say that I'm upset about it," she said.

The "Fuller House" explained she voted on policy, even though she disagrees with many things Trump has said. She urged those discouraged by the election results to trust God for the future and expressed hope that Americans will be united.

"I pray that we come together," she said. "And yet, if anything, I hope, no matter what side you were on, it brings all of us as a people to a horizontal posture—brings us to our knees, our face to the floor, that we pray for our country..."

Bure's brother, actor Kirk Cameron, expressed a similar desire following Trump's surprising win...

"There has never been a more exciting time to be a Christian in America," he told the Gospel Herald at the time. "This could be our finest hour—think about it. It's when all hope seems lost when, God parts the waters, when He splits the Red Sea. I think this could be a Red Sea moment for you and me and America's story right now. We're people of faith, we have eyes to see the goodness and faithfulness of God when His people turn to Him."
