The 'National Diversity Coalition For Trump' Is Exactly What You'd Expect

Earlier this month, a "National Diversity Coalition for Trump" was formed(link is external) by the GOP presidential frontrunner's lawyer Michael Cohen for the purpose of, in the words of one of the group's leaders, demonstrating to voters that Donald Trump is "not racist, misogynist, sexist or Islamophobic." Trump is reportedly scheduled(link is external) to meet with this group today and we are not at all surprised to see that Lance Wallnau is listed among the group members(link is external).

Wallnau, as we've noted before(link is external), is a leading proponent(link is external) of Seven Mountains dominionism, the idea that Christians are to "do whatever is necessary(link is external)" to take control(link is external) of all aspects of the culture, such as business, educaiton and the media, in order to implement the will of God throughout the world. Wallnau is especially concerned with gaining control over the "mountain of government" because he believes(link is external) that it is currently under the control of Satan(link is external) ... and he seems to believe that Trump just might be the man to finally claim it for Christ.

As he declared(link is external) in a video that he uploaded to his Facebook page(link is external) last year, Wallnau has been leading "a group of people that are praying for and encouraging Mr. Donald Trump" because "God has given this man an anointing for the mantle of government in the United States and he will prosper!"

Also among the members of diversity coalition is Frances Rice of the National Black Republican Association, who absurdly claimed a few years ago(link is external) that the GOP's infamous "Southern Strategy" was an effort by the Republican Party to get "fair-minded" non-racist voters in the South to stop supporting the racist Democratic Party.

"That strategy was designed to get the fair-minded people in the South to stop discriminating against blacks and to stop supporting a party that did not share their values," she said. "So those fair-minded ones who migrated to the Republican Party did so. They joined us, we did not join the racists."
