The Reawaken America Tour: Anti-Semitic, Anti-Democratic, and Openly Violent (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

Brad talks to Rev. Nathan Empsall, the Executive Director of Faithful America. They discuss the Reawaken America Tour, which just relaunched in Las Vegas a week ago. As Rev. Nathan says, the tour platforms speakers who are anti-Semitic, anti-democratic, and openly violent. It is a dangerous movement that is, unfortunately, tying together explicit Christian practice – like baptism on stage – with insidious American nationalism. The result? Maybe the most potent magnet for Christian nationalism alive today.

Roger Stone and Michael Flynn under fire over rallies ‘distorting Christianity’ | US politics | The Guardian

"The event at a church in San Marcos was the latest stop on disgraced, retired General Michael Flynn's 'ReAwaken America Tour,' a nationwide series of megachurch engagements featuring a who's who of far-right religious extremists, Trump aides, QAnon conspiracy theorists, and other reckless figures. At every stop along the way, the Christian nationalist tour has left in its wake a trail of dangerous disinformation that leads to bigotry, hate, and, at its most extreme, violence."
