  • David Barton insists that the massive Democratic gains in the midterm elections were not because of a blue wave: "It wasn't a blue wave that that hit on election night; it was the absence of a red."
  • Jim Garlow says that pastors should run for office, but only if they are "authentically biblical" Republicans: "If they violate historic, orthodox, biblical understandings, we do not need them in office."
  • With the GOP in disarray, Nick Fuentes sees an opportunity: "We are going to take over the Republican Party."
  • Jake Lang is asking President Donald Trump to protect him from his various legal problems by declaring Lang to be a political refugee.
  • Finally, Lance Wallnau explains why voters turned against Republicans because of issues like gas prices and affordability: "That was the talking points that the left, like demonic spirits, put into people."
On the Watchlist
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.

Jim Garlow

Jim Garlow is an anti-LGBTQ activist who made a national name for himself by helping to mobilizing churches against marriage equality in California. He has since played a number of roles in the religious-right movement. During the MAGA era he has become an ardent Trump supporter, serving on the faith advisory board for Trump's 2016 campaign. During the turmoil after the 2020 election, Garlow started a series of prayer calls designed to help keep Trump in power. The World Prayer Network calls have continued as venues for religious-right organizing and MAGA propaganda.

Nick Fuentes

Dropping out of college after one year following his participation in the deadly white nationalist “Unite The Right” rally in Charlottesville, VA, in 2017, Fuentes launched a career as a racist, antisemitic, misogynistic far-right activist and livestreamer.

Lance Wallnau

A former oil executive turned right-wing evangelist, Wallnau is a self-proclaimed Christian nationalist and a leading proponent of Seven Mountains Dominionism, which seeks to place right-wing Christians atop the seven primary “mountains” that shape society: government, education, media, arts and entertainment, family, religion, and business.
