Yes.
He drew "ALL MEN.'
He did not pick and choose.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

So it's not about their freewill. It's Christ will and power

All men are drawn.
Many men are called, few chosen.
We are not coerced
Our response is our choice.
'Choose this day who you will serve.'
'Open the door and I will come in and sup with you.'
It isn't complicated.

But in their context, the words 'Choose this day who you will serve.' were spoken to God's chosen people of Old Testament times, not to sinners in general, and 'Open the door and I will come in and sup with you.' is a paraphrase of this verse, spoken to a church, the church of the Laodiceans:
““Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” (Re 3:20 NKJV)
Again, not an invitation to sinners to open the door of their hearts to Jesus.
