"The people who are naysayers, who have coined the term "Christian nationalism" as a pejorative and derogatory label, are trying to silence the influence and voices of Christians, and I think that's wildly inappropriate."
"The state of Christian Nationalism was best illustrated by a guy named Eric Metaxas, who attempted to bestow a blessing on the Gilded Palace of Sin. (Thanks, Gram.)"
"When our nation was still young, three decades after the revolution ended, the cause of liberty, once again, would triumph with a fire of rockets and the water of the Chesapeake met. It was 30 years after we won our independence, the British challenged us in the War of 1812, burning parts of the city named after George Washington."
"The speakers included a Catholic bishop and a rabbi, so don't go around saying that the whole thing was aimed at keeping the GOP's Bible-banging, snake-handling base in the boat while everybody else is going over the side."
A Washington event featuring Christian Nationalist themes included a Catholic bishop and a rabbi among its speakers. The event was presented as a defense of Christian influence and voices, opposing the use of “Christian nationalism” as a derogatory label. A video showed the president reading a Bible, with the Bible held right side up. The event was portrayed as a blessing moment connected to national symbolism and religious authority. References were made to historical American conflicts, including the War of 1812 and the burning of Washington, to support a narrative of liberty and eventual triumph. The material also included claims that the term “Christian nationalism” originated from George Soros.
