Christian nationalist leaders proclaim Kamala Harris is influenced by a 'Jezebel spirit,' a term steeped in racist and misogynistic history, igniting concern among scholars.
The usage of Jezebel to describe Harris is viewed as coded language to suggest that she, as a woman and a Black leader, is unworthy of political acceptance.
Anthea Butler states, 'The term is used to communicate that a woman, usually a Democrat, Black or multiracial, is not an acceptable candidate.'
The concept of a Jezebel spirit implies that Kamala Harris is possessed by a demonic force, contrasting sharply with her identity as a Christian and a Baptist.
