Kari Lake, the extremist, leading Republican Senate candidate from Arizona, twisted Scripture at a recent campaign rally to encourage her supporters to arm themselves ahead of the election.
Lake told the crowd, "We are going to put on the armor of God. And maybe strap on a Glock [handgun] on the side of us just in case."
Manipulating Christianity for political and personal profit isn't new for Kari Lake. Faithful America named her a top Christian-nationalist False Prophet in 2022, when she was the Republican nominee for Arizona governor.
During that campaign, Lake accused Democrats of having a "demonic agenda" -- while she aggressively undermined our electoral system, promoted conspiracy theories, and propped up Donald Trump.
Lake's call for armed conflict comes amid escalating violent rhetoric from Christian-nationalist leaders across the country, and we can't let it go unanswered. People who follow the Prince of Peace should not be encouraging or threatening political violence -- period.
