Jews, non-Christians not part of conservative movement - GOP candidate consultant

When a person tells you who they are, believe them



https://www.jpost.com/american-politics/article-713128

Jews and other non-Christians are "not conservative" because it is "an explicitly Christian movement" and because the US "is an explicitly Christian country," said Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab and reportedly a consultant for state senator Doug Mastriano, the Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, in a livestream responding to recent condemnations of Mastriano and Gab.

Mastriano has come into the public eye in recent weeks after US media outlets reported that he had spent $5,000 on advertising on Gab, a social media network favored by the far-right. The candidate has also reportedly paid for "campaign consulting" from the platform, with reports that new Gab users are set to automatically follow him......

."This is the most important election of the 2022 midterms because Doug is an outspoken Christian," said Torba in the video, complaining about the reports condemning Gab and Mastriano's decision to buy advertising on the site. "We are going to build a coalition of Christian nationalists, of Christians, of Christian candidates, at the state, local and federal levels and we're going to take this country back for the glory of God."

"My policy is not to conduct interviews with reporters who aren't Christian or with outlets who aren't Christian and Doug has a very similar media strategy where he does not do interviews with these people. He does not talk to these people. He does not give press access to these people," said the Gab founder. "These people are dishonest. They're liars. They're a den of vipers and they want to destroy you. My typical conversation with them when they email me is 'repent and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior.' I take it as an opportunity to try and convert them."

Torba called Mastriano's opponent, Josh Shapiro, "a Soros puppet" (a reference to Jewish billionaire George Soros) and reiterated claims that he was involved in voter fraud in the 2020 election. Torba stressed that Mastriano "answers only to Jesus Christ."

I'm hoping those not in that select group have their eyes opened and exit the cult of hate.

Christian religious extremists -- and Donald Trump and family. They really have no room for Christians who don't convert to their fundagelical point of view, either. They're using Catholics and other Christians for now in order to gain power. This is an evil group of people, and I hope we can defeat them right out of the gate. But they're going to keep on trying.

anyone can glean from the Gospels, jesus would toss these false prophets faster than he cleanedout moneychangers from the Temple.

The Sermon on the Mount was for pretty much everyone, but primarily the false prophets even the Apostles bemoaned. And people who just didn't get it.

Confucius and The Buddha would have approved.
