Jenna Ellis is a dangerous Christo-fascist. #Christofascism 1/
In 2020, Doug Mastriano advisor Jenna Ellis, an attorney, used a “chopped up video to falsely suggest that election workers in Georgia had told observers to go home so that they could retrieve fake ballots from under a table.” 2/ buckscountybeacon.com/2022/11/united…
3/ Jenna Ellis probably told herself that lying for God is good. #Christofascism

5/ Evangelical extremist attorney Michael Farris wrote the intro to Jenna Ellis’s book. He also ghost wrote Ken Paxton’s SCOTUS brief that sought to overturn the election.
6/ Jenna Ellis with NAR leader Lance Wallnau and Mike Lindell, a very close associate of the Family aka the Fellowship Foundation, which hosted the National Prayer Breakfast for years. #Christofascismbuckscountybeacon.com/2022/11/united…
7/ Mike Lindell—who falsely claimed to have “absolute proof” (in the form of “pcaps”) that China had hacked the election, only to have his own supposed expert call the pcaps a “turd”—was recruited into the christo-fascist “Family” in 2015 by Ben Carson. buckscountybeacon.com/2022/11/united…
8/ To a large extent, these people and their associates generated and fueled the Big Lie. And no one bothered to tell this to the American people.
11/ Here too. Doug Mastriano is closely tied to the NAR (a global dominionist movement). He also spread a viral falsehood about the 2020 election. whowhatwhy.org/politics/elect…
12/ Doug Mastriano did not retract even after his claim was definitively debunked. For him, the truth matters less than acquiring power for his extremist version of Christianity. #Christofascism

Terrific post by @LuluFriesdat of @Smart_elections —which seeks a hand recount of the presidential election in Rockland County, NY—in which they correct those who have wrongly suggested that Smart Elections’ legitimate concerns & findings thus far amount to “proof” that the election was rigged for Trump.
THIS is what credible election integrity messaging looks like: “Are we concerned about all the software updates they released? You bet we are. Can we say conclusively that there was some kind of malware in those updates that changed vote totals? No we cannot. That’s why we’re in court. To get that kind of information.”

Those of you who have followed me for years know that I spent about four years of my life focusing on election security. (See my article below.) 2/ buckscountybeacon.com/2023/10/trump-…
3/ After the Big Lie, I felt that the movement had been so discredited—by people improperly conflating vulnerabilities with “proof” of fraud & then using that non-existent “proof” to justify violence—that I could no longer effectively advance this ball.
“As of three weeks ago, 172 of these individuals [pardoned by Trump] had pled guilty to assaulting law enforcement. By their own admission, they assaulted police. About 140 officers were injured, including Officer Brian Sicknick, who died the following day. Four officers who responded that day have since died by suicide.” 1/25/25 (Link in post 2.)

Trump has picked Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK & who performed the Nazi salute on video (in apparent defense of Elon Musk). 1/
MAGA’s favorite White South African activist group—Afriforum—admitted last year that “there is no white genocide going on in South Africa.”
(In 2018, Afriforum had traveled to the US to discuss their claim that White South African farmers were being murdered due to their race. They have since hobnobbed with Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, New Founding, CPAC, & NatCon.) 1/
The Center for Renewing America—founded by Trump’s OMB Director pick Russ Vought, a top architect of Project 2025—has *explicitly* said that it wants the federal govt to “eliminate” Obamacare’s life-saving Medicaid expansion. Here are some stats on the expansion. 1/ cbpp.org/research/healt…
