J.D. Vance, speaking at an event hosted by a radical Christian nationalist group, raises concerns about his association with extremist ideologies that promote a blending of religion and far-right politics.
... on Saturday, Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance appeared at an event hosted by an evangelist who’s argued that Vice President Kamala Harris is demonic. The Washington Post reported:
"The event’s host, Lance Wallnau, who emceed the live event and introduced Vance’s first town hall on the campaign trail, is a leading figure in the fast-growing New Apostolic Reformation, a movement that preaches Christian supremacy through a blend of prophecy and hard-right politics."
For those unfamiliar with Wallnau, Right Wing Watch has published some excellent research on the evangelist’s vision, which makes clear that he’s the kind of guy that GOP officials probably ought to avoid. As the Post’s report summarized, “Wallnau has previously cast Harris as both a demon and Jezebel, the biblical symbol of womanly wickedness.”
