Earlier this week, Right Wing Watch reported that Christian nationalist Stephen Wolfe was hoping that a united right-wing movement would use the assassination of Charlie Kirk to mobilize the government to suppress the left and impose its Christian nationalist worldview on the nation.
On Wednesday, fellow Christian nationalist Doug Wilson, whose Canon Press imprint published Wolfe's "The Case for Christian Nationalism" book in 2022, posted a video advocating the same thing.
Wilson is a far-right pastor who wants to incorporate the Apostle's Creed into the Constitution, ban women from voting, and prohibit non-Christians from holding office. Recently, Wilson established a church in Washington, DC to "calibrate the Christians" in the Trump administration into his theocratic worldview, which has been given a jump start thanks to the fact that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is an open admirer of Wilson and a member of a church within Wilson's Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches.
Wilson declared that if the right seizes this opportunity, Kirk's murder will one day be known as the event that "put a bullet in the neck of progressive leftism."
"I believe that history will show that Tyler Robinson, if he is convicted of firing the shot that killed Charlie Kirk, will also be revealed as the man who put a bullet in the neck of progressive leftism," Wilson said. "But only if [the right takes advantage of the opportunity.]"
"One of the most important principles of war is pursuit," Wilson said. "Everything rides on whether or not conservatives pursue. If we pursue, we make this vibe shift permanent. If we fail to pursue, then we don't. It really is that simple."
"In electoral politics, pursuit means that any Republican legislature that has the opportunity to redraw their congressional districts has a moral obligation to do so and to do so before the midterms," Wilson proclaimed. "Be like Texas."
"This should be part of a strategy to have the midterms be the time when a strong angel from Revelation pours out the contents of the 7th vial over the top of the Democratic Party as it is currently constituted, resulting in it being reconstituted as something else, something resembling a quivering gelatinous mass, and then, after the seagulls take it away, a wet spot on the pavement," Wilson added. "In short, the goal for the midterms should not simply be to retain the House; too obvious and hardly ambitious enough. The goal should be more than to put the recapture of the House by the Democrats out of reach during [J.D.] Vance's two terms; also too obvious. Rather, the goal should be to have all the discussion among TV's talking heads after the midterms to revolve around whether the Democrats can survive as an organized political party at all and the consensus should be something like, 'No, they can't.'"
"Pursuit means following up on all the dirt revealed in the DOGE work in the opening weeks of Trump 47," Wilson continued. "I'm talking about USAID money. Not only does the spigot that funds Molotov revolutionaries need to be turned all the way to the right, as in no more of that, but we also need to have criminal prosecutions of those financiers behind all blood funding. I'm talking about the pallets of bricks that get dropped off on the eve of riots. I'm talking about the Butler [Pennsylvania] assassination attempt and oh yeah, the other one, and of course the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Why on earth should we assume that the default is lone actors in this high stakes game where all the money and power in the world is on the table? In short, far more people need to be on their way to jail than currently appear to be."
