What stands out in this piece is how sincere people of faith (any of us) can be sincerely wrong. McEnany seems truly convinced she is doing righteous work, but has she ever understood Christianity apart from a culture wars, Religious Right perspective?

What's so difficult about piercing the ideological bubble of the Religious Right is they see all opposition as perspecution and read that into their interpretation of the Bible. They think all the pushback is a sign they're taking the narrow path and suffering as Christ did.
Changing someone's mind is even more difficult when their job relies on stubbornly clinging to erroneous and bigoted beliefs. Exponentially more difficult when you get praise for those views. It's your platform and to give it up would mean giving up influence and Identity.
People can change, but those Christians who have prominently aligned themselves with Trump actively cooperate with a man who built his brand and administration on disregarding "the least of these" seems to revel in it. God sees and history remembers.
