  • Kat Kerr declares that Christians must vote in the midterms: "Vote Republican if you want to keep this Country. God is adamant about us keeping our Freedom. This Country IS A CHRISTIAN NATION."
  • Cliff Kincaid has a warning for any conservative thinking about not voting in the elections: "Get ready for the guillotine." 
  • Katy Faust claims that her effort to overturn marriage equality has "a lot of supporters who identify as gay or lesbian."
  • David Barton still does not understand how biblical parables work. 
  • Trump-loving religious-right activist Jim Garlow says that "the fact that ANYONE - let alone a Texan! - would vote for someone as incompetent and irrational and non-productive as Talarico is a profound embarrassment for the entire nation."
  • Finally, Gene Bailey, Tim Barton, and Rick Green are deeply suspicious about Talarico's disappearance from the campaign trail as he recovered from the flu: "Something about this is not adding up ... The logical conclusion is that this guy cannot mentally or physically handle the stress of this kind of campaign, and that tells me he would not be a good US Senator."

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. 
Tim and David Barton

Tim Barton

The son of Christian nationalist pseudo-historian David Barton, Tim Barton has followed in his father’s footsteps, taking over as president of the WallBuilders organization, serving as co-host of the daily “WallBuilders Live” radio program, and traveling the nation delivering presentations filled with Christian nationalist disinformation.

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.
