Christian Nationalism is a threat to our nation too! And I sure as hell don't want to see this country become a Christian Nation either?!!
A Republican Senator was subjected to ridicule and scorn at the hands of his own constituents after he declared Monday night that he was advocating openly for "christian nationalism."
U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) made this claim at a gala hosted by the public affairs institute National Conservatism Conference in Washington D.C.
"Some will say I'm calling America a Christian nation, and so I am," Hawley told attendees "Some will say I'm advocating Christian nationalism. And so I do."
Christian nationalism has been dubbed the "single biggest threat" to religious freedom in the U.S. with its condemnation of the LGBTQ community and links to neo-Nazis.
Hawley's remark caught the eye of his Missouri constituents who shared his statement on a state Reddit group Tuesday morning with the question "What do you call Josh Hawley?
Reddit users were quick to flood the feed with accusations of political hypocrisy with self-serving rather than Christian values, with more than 400 responses in about three hours.
"I met him at an industry event right after he was elected the first time," wrote AnxiousLeisureSuit. "He told us he believed in our cause and would fight to support us, then voted against our bill just a few weeks later. Also I shook his hand and it felt like a cold, raw chicken breast."
"The man says whatever people in front of him want to hear and then does the opposite when voting in the Senate," replied This- Dragonfruit-810. "I’m genuinely shocked more people aren’t outraged at the BS he’s pulled."
Insults hurled at the Republican lawmaker included "Christofascist traitor," "Virginian con artist," and "sycophantic fascist coward."
"Christian Nationalist is Nazi terminology," added user SlothfulKoala. "So I’ll go with Nazi."
