With the Trump administration failing to contain the growing controversy over how high-ranking officials inadvertently shared classified military secrets with a journalist, MAGA cultists are flailing in their own efforts to explain away the scandal.
Unable to defend the administration's incompetence, Christian nationalist Lance Wallnau appeared on "FlashPoint" last night to insist that it is all a deep-state plot to undermine the Trump administration, lashing out at the The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg for supposedly "spying" on the military plans.
"This is an intelligence community setup," Wallnau fumed. "This is a setup on a preloaded chat thread that was deliberately and intentionally back-channeled to The Atlantic because they all work as a deep state syndicate."
"This is how they do it," he continued. "They want the media to play gotcha and embarrass them ... Trump's team is a tight team. What we have to watch is that they don't start turning on each other."
"This is a nullification project," Wallnau declared. "They were doing it with judicial activist judges. They're continuing on that front. Now they're gonna go in the intelligence community to try to take down one, two, or three of Trump's appointed people and see if they can dismantle the agencies. Our people have to see this for what it is. Don't look at the news cycle about, uh oh, a mistake. Look at it like warfare inside the government trying to take down Trump."
"Face it," Wallnau added. "An unpatriotic, stinking liberal journalist wants to expose personal conversations. If that man was a patriot, he'd say, 'Woah, woah, guys, check out what you're doing. I shouldn't even be in this conversation.' But he didn't do that. He said, 'Gotcha! And I'm gonna expose you and make America look weak.'"
"Nobody ever bothers to say what a jerk that journalist is on The Atlantic," Wallnau ranted. "Peeping Tom that he is, spying in the conversation, and then publishing it to the detriment of America's security."
Wallnau, of course, did not provide one shred of evidence to support any of the allegations he made.
