  • Sen. John Cornyn is rolling out an Evangelical Faith Council featuring Robert Jeffress and others in his effort to stave off a primary election defeat from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
  • Mario Murillo warns that once President Donald Trump is out of office, "the church will lose protection": "It is his alleged rudeness that the Left fears. The fear he invokes in them protects the church."
  • Lance Wallnau thanks God for Trump: "You've given us a better leader than we deserve."
  • Sean Feucht defends spending a million dollars of ministry money on a townhome near the Capitol in Washington, DC by likening it to when Jesus was anointed with costly perfume in the Gospels: "He's worthy of extravagance."
  • Finally, David Barton throws his support behind the religious-right effort to overturn Obergefell by arguing that children deserve to have a mother and a father: "A lot of kids today don't get to choose their parents." Um, was there ever a time where kids got to choose their parents?

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.

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.
