William Wolfe is a former Trump administration official and radical Christian nationalist who has become increasingly fanatical in his support for the Trump administration's deportation policies.
Wolfe, who now runs the Center For Baptist Leadership, put his fanaticism on full display when he recently appeared on the "Give Me Liberty" program, hosted by Ryan Helfenbein of Liberty University's Standing For Freedom Center, to discuss the anti-ICE protests taking place in Minneapolis.
Wolfe praised the administration and was quick to remind everyone that mass deportations were a key plank in the GOP's 2024 platform and so they have no right to complain about the brutality of the operations.
"People are saying, 'I voted for Trump and I wanted illegals out, but I didn't vote for this,'" Wolfe declared. "Well, if you're a Republican, you voted for the biggest mass deportation in American history. You did vote for this and it's going to look like this and it's going to be ugly because if we win, we take this country back. And if we don't win on the ICE and the deportation, the left stays in power."
"If you allow the illegal aliens to stay, we fundamentally lose our constitutional republic because they are not citizens," Wolfe added. "We are citizens, but they are stealing our sovereignty unto themselves. Really, it's a foreign invasion of our country."
"I don't care how much they scream," Wolfe proclaimed. "I don't care how much they cry. I don't care how loud they protest. And I don't care how much it costs. And I don't care how many of my fellow American citizens who recklessly impede legitimate law enforcement operations suffer the consequences of their reckless actions—I'd hope it'd be zero; they need to knock it off. I don't care. I want my country back, whatever it takes, no matter how much it costs. And this is what we elected Donald Trump to do."
In addition to his work with the CBL, Wolfe has also served as a visiting fellow at OMB Director Russ Vought’s Center for Renewing America, which identified Christian nationalism as a priority for the Trump administration.
In 2023, Wolfe joined radical Christian nationalists Joel Webbon, Dusty Deevers, and others in drafting a document called “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.”
