  • Speaker Mike Johnson remains confident that Republicans will win the midterm elections because "we're still one nation under God, no matter how many of these crazy radical, leftist, anti-God, antisemitic, pro-terrorism" candidates the Democrats nominate.
  • David Barton claims that schools have eliminated recess "because teachers were looking for every opportunity to indoctrinate" and wanted "20 to 60 minutes more a day gets some more social indoctrination in."
  • Michele Bachmann blames the rise in antisemitism in America on "the mass immigration of people from the Middle East into the United States, primarily Muslims": "They brought ancient hatreds from their own cultures into the United States."
  • Lance Wallnau brags that he is a "prophetic revelator" who "comes from a long line of rabbis."
  • Lorenzo Sewell once again welcomed neo-Nazi Jake Lang to his church.
  • Finally, the latest Bible study from Capitol Ministries for officials on Capitol Hill teaches, predictably, that the government is supposed to reward the rich but has no obligation to help the poor.

Lorenzo Sewell

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.

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.

Capitol Ministries

Capitol Ministries is an organization dedicated to "discipling" public officials into its founder Ralph Drollinger's right-wing interpretation of the Bible; he teaches that it mandates support for right-wing social, economic, environmental, and criminal-justice policies. Capitol Ministries hosts weekly Bible studies for members of Congress, governors, and Trump's cabinet. It recruits pastors to do the same at the state and local level, and has used its connections with Trump officials to expand its work in foreign capitals.
