Former President Donald Trump attacked “crazy” Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and accused the Democratic Party of cheating in the 2020 election during his Republican National Convention (RNC) unity speech on Thursday evening.
Doubts about 2020 and fears of another ‘stolen’ election persist – while Trump has beseeched attendees to ‘protect the vote.’
The speeches weren’t all personal testimony. Many were peppered with the language of Christian nationalism and the shadowy charismatic movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation. In personal testimonies chock full of miracles and Bible verses, speakers assured the crowd that God was guiding their presidential candidate, and would help them accomplish their political goals—especially a complete end to abortion.
Donald Trump’s self-proclaimed “secretary of retribution” has been given a pass to the Republican National Convention despite calling for the former president’s enemies to be executed, the Daily Beast has learned.
I bet Christian nationalist leaders David Barton, Tony Perkins and their pro-life compadres never thought Donald Trump would shapeshift on them. And surely, they never thought he would get all totalitarian on them. Well, here’s a sad story of face eating leopards eating faces.
