MTG Says GOP 'Should Be Christian Nationalists' Party

[ProudMNDemocrat]

Talk about scary stuff here. There is nothing wrong about religion and one's faith, whatever that may be. But when a politician calls for a Party to adopt the tenets of a religious ideology, that is where the trouble begins. What specific tenet should be adhered to? Since the Protestant Reformation of the early 1500's, the Catholic church was fractured into sects and denominations that stated their tenets followed the teachings of Jesus Christ. MTG is way off base here.

The Georgia congresswoman said the Republican Party should conform to Christianity to make it easier to identify with and sway Christian voters.


The Republican Party’s primary focus this year should be on making the political party one of Christian nationalism, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Saturday.

“We need to be the party of nationalism and I’m a Christian, and I say it proudly, we should be Christian nationalists,” she said in an interview with the conservative Next News Network while attending the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Florida.


Greene, who is known for her vocal religious beliefs and for imposing them on others, said the Republican Party should conform to Christianity to make it easier to identify with and sway Christian voters.

“When Republicans learn to represent most of the people that vote for them, then we will be the party that continues to grow without having to chase down certain identities or chase down certain segments of people,” she said. “We just need to represent Americans and most Americans, no matter how they vote, really care about the same things and I want to see Republicans actually do their job.”

I think it's a reenactment during Lent. The tweet says Bellmead, TX which is right by Waco. They're probably on church property (I hope!), but someone was able to take a photo from an angle that included a nearby McDonalds.

The image has been re-used recently by people claiming it's a protest against mask mandates/vaccines/whatever the hell nonsense, but it's not.

Nasty business, that.

Nothing Christian about them...nothing at all.

10. "MTG Says GOP 'Should Be Christian Nationalists' Party"

The GOP is currently a Christian Nationalists' Party.

The Christo-fascist right took control of the Party some 50 years ago.

13. I'll take an opposite view . . . . sure, Margie, go for it.

Pull all the nutters into your party. Let the not-nutter Republicans stay in their party. Let nature take its course.

15. Agree completely..put her out there in front. Let all voters see how crazy the gqp really is!

14. Good! Such idiocy will not only drive people away from the Republican Party,

it will drive them away from Christianity.
