Right Wing Bonus Tracks: The God Of War

Bonus Tracks
Round-up
by
Kyle Mantyla
  • Tim Barton delivered a presentation for Memorial Day in which he argued that "God is not anti-war" and is actually "in favor of wars sometimes."
  • Mike Huckabee will soon "share his wisdom and guiding hand in this new daily program airing Monday through Friday at 6:30pm ET" on the Christian broadcasting network TBN.
  • Jason Rapert is outraged that the Libertarian Party nominated a gay man as its presidential candidate: "Another sign the nation is going to hell in a hand basket. When are you going to finally stand up loud and strong Americans?"
  • Antisemitic Christian nationalist Andrew Torba helpfully admits that "in recent years, the Appeal to Heaven Flag has been adopted by Christian Nationalists as a symbol of their commitment to upholding the principles of faith, freedom, and self-governance. As a Christian Nationalist myself, I have been flying the flag outside my home for over five years."
  • Finally, while former President Donald Trump is currently on trial for breaking the law while trying to cover up an adulterous affair, religious-right commentator Sandy Rios insists that his commitment to his wife Melania shows he's a man of character who has "great respect" for God.
Every day, Right Wing Watch exposes extremism to help the public, activists, and journalists understand the strategies and tactics of anti-democratic forces—and respond to an increasingly aggressive and authoritarian far-right movement. The threat is growing, but our resources are not. Any size contribution will help us continue our work and become more effective at disrupting the ideologies, people, and organizations that threaten our freedom and democracy. Please make an investment in Right Wing Watch’s defense of the values we share.

Jason Rapert

A former Arkansas state legislator, Rapert launched the National Association of Christian Lawmakers in 2019. As its name suggested, the NACL is a Christian nationalist organization that seeks to “take authority” over every level of government and spread its worldview “across the nation.”

Tim Barton

The son of Christian nationalist pseudo-historian David Barton, Tim Barton has followed in his father’s footsteps, taking over as president of the WallBuilders organization, serving as co-host of the daily “WallBuilders Live” radio program, and traveling the nation delivering presentations filled with Christian nationalist disinformation.
