  • Doug Wilson is establishing a church in Washington, D.C. because "with the change in administration, we believe that there will be many strategic opportunities with numerous evangelicals who will be present both in and around the Trump administration."
  • On a semi-related note, pastor Brooks Potteiger, who is affiliated with Wilson, revealed that he's been invited to the Pentagon to preach at the inaugural "Secretary's Prayer Meeting," which will be a monthly event. This makes sense given that Pete Hegseth was a member of Potteiger's church before becoming Secretary of Defense.
  • Tony Perkins believes that the new pope "was selected as a check to American power [and] to create division at home for the Trump administration."
  • Shane Vaughn defends President Donald Trump's plan to accept a $400 million jumbo jet as a "gift" from the royal family of Qatar: "That’s not an emolument. That’s not corruption. That’s common sense governance."
  • Finally, Joel Webbon wants to make clear that he has enough hate in his heart for both Judaism and Islam: "I already hate Judaism and Islam with a fierce hatred."

Joel Webbon

Joes 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.”
