Christian Nationalists Team Up on Illicit Push to Get Churches to Campaign for Trump
During a weekend broadcast of his podcast, the influential Christian nationalist “apostle”
♦️Lance Wallnau ♦️unveiled a new collaboration with
🔸Turning Point USA 🔸that aims to get “civically enlightened” pastors to turn out their faithful for the “America First agenda.”
The effort will be primarily focused, Wallnau said, in the purple states of Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia.
For weeks, Wallnau has been dropping hints about a swing-state effort to turn out coreligionists for Trump.
And during the Saturday broadcast of the Lance Wallnau Show, he announced that he’s joined forces with Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, a powerful conservative group that has recently embraced Christian nationalism, including by promoting a 50-state prayer tour at the nation’s state houses.
Both Wallnau and Kirk have been calling on pastors to throw caution to the wind, with Kirk explicitly offering resources to pastors who seek to 👉 “challenge the IRS.”
On his podcast, Wallnau insisted, “We’ve got to see the courageous churches come together. We’re encouraging the churches to stand with us.”
According to Wallnau, TPUSA has already recruited 2,500 churches “to stand with an America First Agenda.”
It is not clear from his description if all of those congregations are in swing states.
During his podcast, Wallnau insisted that the "Courage Tour" will also be working with right-wing women’s groups including
🔹Moms for America🔹 — which touts “truth, family, freedom and the Constitution” — and 🔹Concerned Women for America🔹, a group dedicated to “Biblical values and Constitutional principles.”
Wallnau insisted: “We’re creating a broad net.”
Christian nationalism is an ideology that insists that Christians hold a place of privilege in the stewardship of America, which adherents assert, ahistorically, was founded as a Christian nation.
Christian nationalists often literally demonize their opponents, seeing them as under the sway of satanic forces.
QThe movement poses a danger to democracy because it “sees no room for compromise,” Andrew Whitehead, author of Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States, has told Rolling Stone.
A way to debate #CharlieKirk
Me: thank you Charlie for being here to debate #MLK and the #CivilRightsAct (he really says he's doing this on MLK Day). Recent allegations by your ex girlfriend (Karen) suggest that she left you because you could not perform in bed unless your standard poodle Cofeve was "an active participant." Can you explain the sexual nature of your relationship with Cofeve?
Charlie: I don't have a sexual relationship with Cofeve. Why can't we...
Charlie Kirk: "The southern border is, of course, the great replacement. They're trying to replace us demographically. They're trying to make the country less white."
