Jenna Ellis is a dangerous Christo-fascist. #Christofascism 1/ Image
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 Image
4/ Image
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. Image
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. #Christofascism buckscountybeacon.com/2022/11/united… Image
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.
9/ I did my best to make the case here. buckscountybeacon.com/2022/11/united…
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… Image
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

Michael Flynn is collaborating with former GOP lawmaker Matt Shea who was found in a House report to have "organized & supported "three armed conflicts of political violence", & advocated replacing the government with a theocracy & “the killing of all males who do not agree." 1/

MAGA Pastor Mark Burns (a SC congressional candidate & close ally of Roger Stone) says that “if he is elected, he’ll resurrect the infamous House Un-American Activities Committee for the purpose of charging citizens, members of the media, & elected officials w/ treason.” via @rightwingwatch 1/ rightwingwatch.org/post/third-tim…Image
2/ “I am going to push to reenact HUAC, the House Un-American Activities Committee,” Burns vowed. “It is a committee that we should reenact that starts holding these people accountable for treason.”
3/ “HUAC’s work served as a blueprint for the tactics employed by U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy in the early 1950s. McCarthy led an aggressive anticommunist campaign of his own that made him a powerful & feared figure in American politics.” history.com/topics/cold-wa…

For those who don’t know, Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) leaders have been enormously influential in the Council for National Policy (CNP), the Christian Right’s umbrella organization, which effectively controls the GOP. 1/
2/ Paul Pressler is a former SBC Vice President AND a former CNP president. He’s also an alleged serial sex abuser.
3/ Paige Patterson is another example of overlap btwn SBC leadership and CNP leadership. Below, I wrote about Pressler & Patterson & the current effort to replicate the SBC’s so-called “Conservative Resurgence,” which was led by Pressler & Patterson in the 1980s.

If Trump gives the Christian Right control over HHS and the FDA, which he will definitely do, they will be able to remove the drugs used in abortions and IVF from the market even without a SCOTUS ruling. Ditto re birth control pills, IUDs, vaccines, etc. 1/
2/ Russ Vought is a Project 2025 co-leader. Trump also picked him to co-write the GOP’s platform. He’s an evangelical extremist who served in the last Trump administration.

This warrants our attention. The Christian Right claims that a fertilized egg = a person even BEFORE implantation & thus that oral contraceptives (aka “the pill”) = “abortifacients” bc, in the rare instance they fail to prevent fertilization, they might prevent implantation. 1/ digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/cgi/viewconten…Image
3/ Federalist Society co-chair Leonard Leo has sat on the board of directors of Students for Life. See post 4. He also “owns” SCOTUS. See post 5. Image

Here’s an under-appreciated issue. The Christian Right claims that a fertilized egg = a person even BEFORE implantation & thus that oral contraceptives (aka “the pill”) constitute “abortifacients” bc, in the very rare instance they fail to prevent fertilization, they can then prevent implantation, which they claim = an “abortion.” 1/ digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/cgi/viewconten…Image
