Rachel Maddow Rips Republicans' Promotion Of Christian Nationalism

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and other Republicans are brazenly touting "Christian nationalism” to become America’s state religion, which is both anti-semitic and racist, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow warned on her program Monday.

In an interview Saturday with the conservative Next News Network at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Florida, Greene said, "Republicans really need to recognize the people they represent, ok? Their voters, not the lobbyists donors, not the corporate PACs, not those people. That’s not who the Republican Party should represent. We need to be the party of nationalism and I’m a Christian, and, I say it proudly: We should be Christian nationalists.”

"The Trumpiest part” of the Republican Party is increasingly supporting this right-wing movement, Maddow noted.

Andrew Torba, CEO of the social media company Gab and a political consultant for Pennsylvania state Senate Doug Mastriano, who’s the GOP candidate for governor, said Monday that there was no room in the movement for Jews.

"This is an explicitly Christian movement, because this is an explicitly Christian country,” Torba told Media Matters.

"We don’t want people who are atheists. We don’t want people who are Jewish. We don’t want people who are, you know, nonbelievers, agnostic, whatever,” he added.

That said, Torba noted that the movement has no plans to deport Jews, nonbelievers or people of other faiths.

"You’re free to stay here. Right? You’re not going to be forced to convert or anything like this. But, you’re going to enjoy the fruits of living in a Christian society under Christian laws.”

What’s less known about Christian nationalism is that the movement is also racist, Maddow pointed out. She shared several quotes by Gerald L.K. Smith, a preacher, politician and NSDAP sympathizer who ran against Franklin Delano Roosevelt for president in 1944 on the America First ticket and founded what he coined as "Christian Nationalism.”

"We must keep control of our own money and our own blood. In other words, we must remain true to the Declaration of Independence. That is nationalism,” Smith wrote of Christian nationalism. "We believe that the spiritual symbol of our statesmanship is the Cross, which indeed is the symbol of Christianity.”

"Fight mongrelization and all attempts being made to force the intermixture of the black and white races,” he added. ”...Preserve America as a Christian Nation, being conscious of the fact that there is a highly organized campaign to substitute Jewish tradition for Christian tradition.”

Maddow called the quotes the "milder” version of what Smith was known for.

"He was a virulent, violent racist and anti-semite, and that was the core of his movement, Christian nationalism,” she said. "Which you’d think that would make Christian nationalism kind of a hard thing for today’s Republicans to try to raise as their new banner.”

Threat to our Government, Democracy and America.

America First is laying plans to perpetuate Trumpism beyond Trump

The institute – evidently untroubled by the associations of the phrase "America First” with NSDAP sympathisers who wanted to keep the US out of the second world war – has 150 staff, including nine former Trump administration cabinet officials and more than 50 former senior staff and officials. Familiar faces such as Kellyanne Conway, Larry Kudlow and Mark Meadows were feted at the conference.

 

Conway, a former senior counselor to the president, told the Guardian: "It certainly is a way to preserve the legacy and for some people it’s also a way to make sure that the entire body of work of the America First movement is all in one place. It’s about policies and principles, not about personalities and politics.

She added: "I actually believe, and I’ve heard Brooke Rollins say more than once or twice, privately and publicly, that we have this in place in case President Trump runs again and, if he doesn’t, then it’s in place for whomever runs again.

"Whoever the Republican nominee is next time, whether it’s Trump or someone else, will run the way all of these Republican candidates for House and Senate and governor this time, with very few exceptions if any, are running on the America First agenda. They all are doing that this time.

 

The gathering also heard about plans to follow through on what Steve Bannon, former White House chief strategist, described as the "deconstruction of the administrative state”, centralising power in the presidency like other strongmen around the world.

In his speech on Tuesday, Trump said: "We need to make it much easier to fire rogue bureaucrats who are deliberately undermining democracy or, at a minimum, just want to keep their jobs. Congress should pass historic reforms empowering the president to ensure that any bureaucrat who is corrupt, incompetent or unnecessary for the job can be told – did you ever hear this? – ‘You’re fired. Get out. You’re fired.’ Have to do it. Deep state.”

The site added: "The impact could go well beyond typical conservative targets such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Internal Revenue Service. Trump allies are working on plans that would potentially strip layers at the justice department – including the FBI, and reaching into national security, intelligence, the state department and the Pentagon, sources close to the former president say.”

DeSantis is still my prediction for his VP pick, but if I had to pick a dark horse (face) candidate...

Republicans want to rewrite the Constitution. Their plan is to call for an unprecedented convention of states to do it.

There's no way. He would want someone completely loyal no matter what kinds of bat ish crazy he might pull. That isn't DeSantis. It needs to be someone loyal and borderline mentally retarded. So yeah MTG would check the boxes, but I still say Don Jr.

I would put her ahead of DeSantis.  DeSantis is going to challenge him and Trump is going to make sure he picks a rabid loyalist this time.  No more pandering to the "mainstream GOP".  Also she's from Georgia.

So does this mean trumpbots have to stop watching Yellowstone? That's a real shame
