Some say it's "A Who's Who of the New Christian Right." Others call it "QAnon 2.0." Here at Faithful America, we refer to the ReAwaken America Tour and its affiliate Pastors for Trump as "January 6 Goes to Church."
However you describe it, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Eric Trump's extremist, antisemitic, anti-democracy roadshow is clearly one of the worst examples of Christian nationalism today.
Each stop of the tour is a two-day, half-revival/half-rally featuring a parade of pro-Trump pastors, MAGA celebrities, and QAnon conspiracy theorists -- as well as grifters pushing gold, snake-oil health supplements, and pillows. At the heart of it all is a blasphemous stew of baptisms, praise music, violent threats, election denial, and anti-vaccine lies.
Whenever the tour leaves town, the hatred and conspiracy theories it sows can remain in local communities and churches for years to come, risking more division and violence in Jesus's hijacked name.
It was at previous ReAwaken America events that Flynn called for America to have only "one religion," Mark "Trump's Top Pastor" Burns bragged "the Bible says the violent take it... and we take it by force," and pro-Hitler bodybuilder Scott McKay threatened to put "balls and bullets" in pro-vaccine nurses and doctors "in the name of Christ."
Sign Faithful America's statement today, and together we can remind Christians, reporters, lawmakers, and all Americans that Christian nationalism is not Christian -- and that we reject ReAwaken America and its affiliate group, Pastors for Trump.
