Yesterday Trump announced he's nominating Pete Hegseth as his Secretary of Defense.
Hegseth's a prominent Fox News personality & veterans advocate, but he also has strong ties to the Christian far right that I've not seen fully exposed yet.
Here's a thread w/ receipts... 1/

As CRCC wrote a few years ago, American theocracy is bad for everyone – including white Christian nationalists. We remain committed to working for a pluralistic society that respects the dignity and freedom of every individual.

Newsrooms: Trump takes office in 104 days. If you haven't started scouting for a good religion reporter yet, then you're already behind on one of the biggest stories of the next decade.

Read this now folks. And stick for the end, calling for more religiously literate reporters/reporting in the U.S. mainstream media. 👇
I know Trump's rally at MSG got lots of press attn for its fascistic undertones, but the most fascistic thing to happen this week in Trump world -- in my view -- is this prophecy spoken over Trump by Messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn at a relig ldrs event. 1/

My new op-ed in @RNS highlights how an alarming shift in evangelicals comparing Trump to various biblical characters signals an increasing anticipation & embrace of Trump's threatened violence.
Trump used to be their Cyrus, but he's becoming their Jehu.
