"The sin and stain of racism within white Christian nationalism is but another piece of rotten fruit from a long-diseased tree. It is in this history that we see how white supremacy is—and always has been—intimately intertwined with idolizing power, fear, and violence in the calls to make the United States a Christian nation."

"Like, how do these Christians who claim to worship Jesus and follow Jesus, how do they not see this and get outraged?

And one of the key things you have to realize to folks who did not grow up like how me and April grew up in the white evangelical world, very conservative, is that this is how the white evangelical world operates."
