Right Wing Round-Up: GOPastors

David Lane is a Christian nationalist political operative who has spent decades organizing conservative pastors to promote right-wing politics and politicians. He preaches that the U.S. has a divine mission to advance the Christian faith. He called the separation of church and state a “lie” and a “fabricated whopper” designed to stop “Christian America—the moral majority—from imposing moral government on pagan public schools, pagan higher learning and pagan media.” He has said that the Christian church's response to the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 should have been to initiate "riots, revolution, and repentance.” Lane has close ties to Republican officials; Donald Trump attended one of Lane's events as a 2016 presidential candidate.
