MTG stands up for “Christian Nationalism”

This is the one who Alex Jones wants to run for President.

She just might beat Lauren Boebert in a dipshit race.

What do you think? Is she right?

Marjorie Taylor Greene to GOP: 'We Should Be Christian Nationalists'
By Thomas Kika On 7/24/22 at 1:03 PM EDT

Speaking at an event for young conservatives on Saturday, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, argued that Republicans should embrace being "Christian nationalists."

The congresswoman appeared at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit this weekend in Tampa, Florida. Among the many things she discussed while onstage, she discussed the label of "Chrisitan nationalist" that critics have often given her. She argued that being a Christian nationalist is a positive thing, and urged the young conservatives in attendance to more prominently mix Christianity with politics.

"That's not a bad word," Greene said. "That's actually a good thing. There's nothing wrong with leading with your faith...If we do not live our lives and vote like we are nationalists—caring about our country, and putting our country first and wanting that to be the focus of our federal government—if we do not lead that way, then we will not be able to fix it."

Greene repeated that sentiment over the weekend during a video interview for a conservative online show, a clip of which was shared on Twitter by prominent left-wing pundit and former federal prosecutor Ron Filipkowski.

"We need to be the party of nationalism," the Georgia lawmaker said during the interview. "I'm a Christian, and I say it proudly—we should be Christian nationalists."

Contrary to her interpretation, critics of Christian nationalism condemn the ideology as radical and in opposition to interfaith inclusion, and often associate it with fringe movements like the "alt-right" and white supremacy. In an interview published on Friday, Reverend Paul Raushenbush, a Baptist minister and the incoming president of the Interfaith Alliance, called the ideology "a threat to the American way of life."

"I strongly believe that you'll find religious diversity in every community," Raushenbush said. "It's important to recognize that's fundamentally a strength for America, not a threat. This circle has to include everyone. White Christians don't get to say, 'This is our country and the rest are lucky to be invited.'"

Newsweek reached out to Greene's office for comment.

During her talk in Tampa on Saturday, Greene also touched on the recent outbreak of monkeypox in a manner meant to mock left-wing activists on social media.

"We have a new global pandemic, have you heard about this? Monkeypox, that's right," she said. "It's the newest thing. Listen, you guys have to update your social media, right next to your Ukraine flag emoji and your vaccine shot emoji, you need to make sure you have a monkey emoji."

Despite Greene dubbing monkeypox a pandemic, the virus has not yet been given that classification officially. On Saturday, the World Health Organization (WHO) moved to classify the virus as a "public health emergency of international concern," the highest alert the organization can issue, short of declaring a pandemic.

LOLLING!

You’d do it for Randolph Scott!

Good for her. Clearly the country needs more nationalism, although I’d probably replace Christian with people of morality. The 2 aren’t mutually exclusive.

Yeah. So ?
You expect her to support the umma ?

What is the umma?

Because you want religious leaders running this place?

And now, this cartoon clown has doubled down on her previous comments.

She sounds like she could be a member of this forum — anybody who criticizes her radical stance (same stance taken by the Third Reich) hates America and hates God.

She’s your gal!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Defends Nationalist Speech as 'She Is a Nazi' Trends

By Aila Slisco On 7/25/22 at 7:57 PM EDT
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican representative from Georgia, has defended her endorsement of "Christian nationalism" after the term "she is a Nazi" trended on Twitter.

Greene was accused on Monday of being a "Nazi" by Twitter users commenting on her defense of Christian nationalism while speaking on Saturday at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida. The Georgia Republican later shared a clip of her speech alongside the comment, "Nationalist isn't a bad word" because it "means you care about your country."

"I am being attacked by the godless left because I said I'm a proud Christian Nationalist," Greene said in a statement sent to Newsweek, which was also shared on Twitter. "These evil people are even calling me a Nazi because I proudly love my country and my God. The left has shown us exactly who they are. They hate America, they hate God, and they hate us."

Many of those who commented on the "she is a Nazi" trending topic said that they knew the phrase was referring to Greene before even looking at the related tweets. Christian nationalism has been heavily associated with far-right extremism in the U.S. in recent years, including white supremacy.

"She is a Nazi is trending and I just KNEW who they were talking about," media personality Perez Hilton tweeted alongside an animated GIF of Greene referring to the "Gazpacho police."

"Don't even need to click on 'She Is a Nazi' to know it's about MTG," tweeted journalist Jennifer M. Wood.

"She is a Nazi," producer Kim Sherrell tweeted. "The Jewish space laser thing was a tip-off."

"When She Is A Nazi is trending, of course it's about Marjorie Taylor Greene," writer Paul Rudnick tweeted. "Because that's how friends signed her yearbook, what her guidance counselor told her parents, and what her kids tell anyone who asks what their Mommy does for a living."

"Georgia's 14th District is currently represented by someone trending on Twitter under 'She is a Nazi,'" tweeted Marcus Flowers, Greene's Democratic challenger in November's election. "We're going to change that in November and restore decency and respect to NW Georgia."

Christian nationalism is defined as "the belief that the American nation is defined by Christianity, and that the government should take active steps to keep it that way," according to an article published by Christianity Today in 2021.

Critics of Christian nationalism, including hundreds of evangelical leaders, argue that it violates the separation of church and state, while also encouraging discrimination against people of non-Christian faiths and those who do not follow any religion.

Greene previously received criticism for praising Christian nationalism during a stream of her MTG:Live web show last month, when she said that Americans should be "most proud of Christianity" and said that those who argue "Christian nationalism is something to be scared of" were "lying to you."

"Christian Nationalism was THE religion of the Third Reich!" Dr. Leah Schade, the Associate Professor of Preaching and Worship at Lexington Theological Seminary in Lexington, Kentucky, tweeted at the time. "Christian Nationalism is DEFINITELY something to be afraid of!"

Although Greene is urging the Republican Party to embrace Christian nationalism, any possibility of lawmakers making the ideology the formal law of the land is limited by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which explicitly prohibits Congress from making any law "respecting an establishment of religion."

Newsweek reached out to Greene's office for comment.

American nationalism... yeah, putting the interests of American citizens BEFORE foreigners...

Wow that Nationalism thing sure is scary!!

Christian Nationalism!!?? Wow even scarier! Allowing religion in the public square terrifies only fools.
