In 2012, only four months after release, publisher Thomas Nelson removed David Barton’s book The Jefferson Lies from publication. Many people blamed or credited a book by Warren Throckmorton and Michael Coulter titled Getting Jefferson Right for moving the publisher in that direction. What happened?
White Christian nationalism has been in the headlines quite a lot as of late. Brad Onishi is a former evangelical minister who once identified as a Christian nationalist himself. He left the church in 2005 and began studying religion and extremism.
This month, a troupe of these pro-Trump “prophets” are headlining seven election-year live events called FlashPoint LIVE to spread the above gospel and “rescue America,” according to ads for the tour.
Nancy Mace’s entire D.C. office has turned over since Nov. 1. Former staff members described a “toxic” work culture driven by a “delusional” boss.
“Despite what Christian nationalists will tell you, Romans 13:1 has absolutely nothing to do with political authority today.”
