Joel Webbon

Joel Webbon is a hard-core Christian nationalist who believes women should not have the right to vote and Jews should not be able to hold public office. Along with Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers, former Trump administration official William Wolfe, and others, Webbon contributed to “The Statement on Christian Nationalism and the Gospel," which declared that the United States must formally “acknowledge the Lordship of Christ” in all its laws, “abolish abortion,” outlaw marriage equality, and “recapture our national sovereignty from godless, global entities who present a grave threat to civilization.”
David Barton

David Barton

Despite having obtained only a Bachelor of Arts degree from Oral Roberts University in the 1970s, David Barton now routinely bills himself as “America’s premier historian” and has established a reputation as the Religious Right’s go-to “expert” for making the case that the Founding Fathers intended to establish America to be a Christian nation that operates according to the laws of God as set out in the Bible.
