Rick Perry Joins Capitol Ministries Project to ‘Disciple’ Local Officials to Right-Wing ‘Biblical Worldview’

Former Texas Gov .
and U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry is partnering with a religious-right effort to “ disciple ” 500,000 local officials into a conservative Christian “ worldview ” and shape public policies in 40,000 U.S. localities .
Perry ’ s undertaking was announced in a June letter to supporters of Capitol Ministries from the organization ’ s president Ralph Drollinger , whose weekly Bible studies teach members of Trump ’ s Cabinet and the U.S. Congress that the Bible instructs public officials to support right-wing social , economic , environmental , and criminal justice policies .
“ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to reach today ’ s 500,000 elected local government leaders with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and disciple them with the Word of God , so they may form a Christian worldview in their hearts , ” Perry is quoted in the Drollinger letter .
“ I see this effort as critically important .
America ’ s ideological future hangs in the balance.
” Drollinger and Capitol Ministries have aggressive expansion plans in multiple directions .
Drollinger has previously announced Capitol Ministries ’ goal of establishing “ discipleship ” ministries in 200 nations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 40,000 localities in the U.S. With help from Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo , Capitol Ministries is expanding its presence among high-level officials in foreign capitals .
Perry has become the group ’ s “ spokesman for Local Government Ministries.
” As part of the partnership , Perry has begun emailing local officials offering to send them a weekly Bible study taken from Drollinger ’ s “ Oaks in Office , ” a guidebook for conservative Christian public officials .
“ This is a critical time for our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ invitation included with Drollinger ’ s letter .
“ Spreading secularism is threatening to smother the very values that our founding fathers based out country upon—values that you and I hold very dear.
” Perry wrote that Capitol Ministries ’ Bible studies that he participated in as a cabinet member were “ in-depth , theologically sound and they drilled deep in Scripture.
” He added , “ They helped us all understand more about God , biblical truths , and what God expects of us as leaders.
” Drollinger ’ s letter affirmed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officials who respond to Perry ’ s emails “ examine crucial policy issues through the timeless lens of God ’ s Word ” —meaning scripture as interpreted by Drollinger .
Drollinger is not humble about his approach to the Bible , dismissing those who interpret scripture and its demands differently than he does .
He has demonstrated contempt for liberal Christians and the “ social gospel , ” and he has described the Catholic Church as “ one of the primary false religions in the world.
” He teaches that legislators who do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counted on to do the right thing because , he has written , “ the longer a person rejects Christ , the greater his depravity becomes.
” Drollinger ’ s Bible studies , which are available online , instruct public officials that the government ’ s job is to “ quell evil ” and punish sin ; that “ as a lawmaker it is incumbent on you to stand for the death penalty ” ; that entitlement programs lack “ any basis of biblical authority ” ; that “ radical environmentalism ” is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only men to run Capitol Ministries Bible studies , because he believes women are not permitted to teach men about the Bible .
In March , Drollinger complained about “ evil pork ” in coronavirus relief legislation , fretting that unemployment benefits in the bill might be an “ impetus to slothfulness ” and “ antithetical to free-market capitalism.
” Drollinger , who insists that he is not a Christian nationalist , tells Christian public officials that they should refuse to participate in interfaith “ syncretistic ” prayer breakfasts ; syncretism refers to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Drollinger , “ God only hears the prayers of leaders and citizens who are upright , who live righteously through faith in Jesus Christ.

Perry was among the featured speakers at Capitol Ministries ’ global training session for ministry leaders that was held at the Museum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in December .
Drollinger asked IFA ’ s intercessors to pray that cabinet officials would use their platforms to fulfill the “ Great Commission ” —the biblical command by Jesus to his followers to “ make disciples of all nations.
” U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and Trump-appointed NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine have both raised money for Capitol Ministries .
Drollinger ’ s letter asks for financial contributions to support the “ massive effort ” which , he wrote , “ will impact not only the eternal souls of local political leaders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States.

Drollinger and Capitol Ministries have aggressive expansion plans in multiple directions. Drollinger has previously announced Capitol Ministries’ goal of establishing “discipleship” ministries in 200 nations, all 50 states, and all 40,000 localities in the U.S. With help from Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Capitol Ministries is expanding its presence among high-level officials in foreign capitals.

In March, Drollinger complained about “evil pork” in coronavirus relief legislation, fretting that unemployment benefits in the bill might be an “impetus to slothfulness” and “antithetical to free-market capitalism.”
Drollinger, who insists that he is not a Christian nationalist, tells Christian public officials that they should refuse to participate in interfaith “syncretistic” prayer breakfasts; syncretism refers to the blending of belief systems.

rightwingwatch--2020-06-30--Ralph Reed Says Christians Have Been ‘Vindicated’ In Supporting Trump

Religious-right activist Ralph Reed appeared on Daystar ’ s “ Joni Table Talk ” program last week to promote his new book , “ For God and Country : The Christian Case for Trump.
” During the broadcast , Reed complained that evangelical Christians have repeatedly been “ demeaned ” for supporting President Donald Trump despite the fact that they have been completely “ vindicated ” as the president has systematically enacting their political agenda .
“ I think what Christians saw was not a perfect man because none of us are perfect , ” Reed said , repeating the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump .
“ Not someone who had never failed to sin or make mistakes .
He ’ s acknowledged that he ’ s a sinner , as we all are.
” Reed ’ s claim that Trump has acknowledged that he is a sinner obviously conflicts with Trump ’ s own repeated declarations that he doesn ’ t ask God for forgiveness because he is a good person who doesn ’ t “ do a lot of things that are bad.
” Nevertheless , host Joni Lamb agreed with Reed ’ s description @ @ @ @ @ @ @ definitely is something that has happened to him spiritually because there ’ s no way that he would go through what he ’ s gone through to fight for these things that are important to us had he not had some type of encounter with the Lord.
” “ The real message of the book is that citizenship is not an option if you ’ re a believer , it ’ s an obligation , ” Reed stated later in the program .
“ And these tens of millions of Christians who prayed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ struggled with a very difficult decision in 2016 , and then 81 percent of them voted for Donald Trump , they were vindicated by what he ’ s done to advance the values and principles that beat in their hearts and give meaning to their souls .
They were vindicated .
And I for one am tired of seeing them attacked and demeaned for making the decision they made .

Religious-right activist Ralph Reed appeared on Daystar’s “Joni Table Talk” program last week to promote his new book, “For God and Country: The Christian Case for Trump.” During the broadcast, Reed complained that evangelical Christians have repeatedly been “demeaned” for supporting President Donald Trump despite the fact that they have been completely “vindicated” as the president has systematically enacting their political agenda.
“I think what Christians saw was not a perfect man because none of us are perfect,” Reed said, repeating the standard phrase used by evangelicals in defending Trump. “Not someone who had never failed to sin or make mistakes. He’s acknowledged that he’s a sinner, as we all are.”
Reed’s claim that Trump has acknowledged that he is a sinner obviously conflicts with Trump’s own repeated declarations that he doesn’t ask God for forgiveness because he is a good person who doesn’t “do a lot of things that are bad.”
Nevertheless, host Joni Lamb agreed with Reed’s description of Trump, asserting that “there definitely is something that has happened to him spiritually because there’s no way that he would go through what he’s gone through to fight for these things that are important to us had he not had some type of encounter with the Lord.”
“The real message of the book is that citizenship is not an option if you’re a believer, it’s an obligation,” Reed stated later in the program. “And these tens of millions of Christians who prayed, who wrestled with Jacob, who struggled with a very difficult decision in 2016, and then 81 percent of them voted for Donald Trump, they were vindicated by what he’s done to advance the values and principles that beat in their hearts and give meaning to their souls. They were vindicated. And I for one am tired of seeing them attacked and demeaned for making the decision they made.”


rightwingwatch--2020-06-30--Benny Johnson Falsely Claims That Gun-Toting Couple Were Democrats

Turning Point USA chief creative officer Benny Johnson attempted to claim that a white couple that aimed firearms at Black Lives Matter protesters in St. Louis , Missouri , were not supporters of President Donald Trump , but rather Democratic Party voters .
Johnson turned to Federal Election Commission data to support his claim , but there was a problem : He found the wrong guy .
Right Wing Watch emailed Johnson to inquire whether he was aware of his error , if he planned to correct himself , and if he generally tries to ensure that what he tweets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after we sent our inquiry , but not before we could archive it .
Johnson posted another tweet correcting himself , but he did not answer our inquiry .
I deleted this tweet because the FEC screenshot that went viral online was from a different donor of the same name .
pic.twitter.com/BvfGhFsUoI Johnson ’ s since-deleted tweet was posted Monday and contained a screenshot of FEC data with a name matching that of Mark McCloskey , the man who was pictured wielding firearms with his wife .
The data displayed in Johnson ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same name donating to ActBlue , an online fundraising tool used by left-of-center politicians and causes .
Johnson shared the screenshot with the comment attached : So it turns out the gun-toting couple : The media is going to have a hard time comprehending this since they spent all of last night and this morning smearing them .
But there was a glaring problem , as The Daily Beast reporter Lachlan Markay noted : Johnson had identified the wrong guy .
In fact , if Johnson had bothered to continue scrolling on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few additional seconds to check where the individual he singled out in his tweet registered their donation from , he would have seen that the Mark McCloskey he found was another man by the same name who lives in Michigan—not Missouri .
Rather , the gun-toting McCloskey in Missouri is recorded donating $ 2,700 toward the Trump campaign and allied Republican causes during the 2016 election cycle .
Johnson ’ s tweet had been shared more than 5,000 times before it was deleted and was cited as proof by several high-profile conservative social @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Texas , who quipped  , “ Maximum cognitive dissonance.
” Multiple plagiarism scandals defined Johnson ’ s disgraced career in journalism , but Johnson has nevertheless maintained a high level of influence in conservative activism circles .

Caleb Hull, a digital communications strategist popular with pro-Trump Republicans, made racist and inflammatory comments, including the use of the n-word, on a Twitter account he used as a video gamer in 2014. The account was deleted shortly after Right Wing Watch began reaching out to sources to report this story, but large portions of the account have been preserved via digital archives.
Hull’s professional work history places him behind the scenes in influential spheres of the modern GOP, as detailed by a “former guest speaker” blurb on The Leadership Institute’s website. Today, Hull is a a political communications consultant and is listed as the manager of a limited liability company called Statecraft Digital (not to be confused with a political communications firm of the same name based in Florida). He got his start in conservative causes working for the GOP youth organization Turning Point USA as an Ohio field director and chapter president while attending college at Cedarville University in Ohio. In 2016, Hull joined TPUSA as video director, later becoming the organization’s creative director and the operations coordinator of Turning Point News. Hull went on to work for Independent Journal Review as social media manager and senior editor.
Before consulting, Hull worked as director of content at Targeted Victory, an influential Republican marketing and advertising firm. According to FEC filings, Targeted Victory’s clients include campaigns for high-ranking Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, and powerful Republican entities like the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which paid Targeted Victory nearly $350,000 for “digital consulting” in April 2020 alone.

Hull posted a photo of a cell phone charging cord dangling in front of the camera, writing, “Wow. Just came home and someone hung a noose in my house.” The tweet has since been deleted.
In response to reports that activists had sought to establish a “Black House Autonomous Zone” north of the White House—an occupied protest space demonstrators sought to occupy with tents—Hull quibbled, “They had one for 8 years and almost nothing changed.” Hull also deleted that tweet. In January 2019, Hull defended a viral photo of students wearing blackface at a Covington Catholic High School basketball game, writing, “This was a blackout game. It’s a normal thing at almost every school. What you all are doing to these kids is truly disgusting.” He repeatedly defended his position on the matter, attempting to differentiate between blackface and “body paint for school pride where everyone is wearing all black.”
When reached by phone Wednesday, Hull declined to provide comment for this story, and instead posted a statement on Twitter. He did not deny his history of racist and homophobic remarks.

Despite the fact that he is and always has been a blatantly partisan religious-right activist , Samuel Rodriguez has for years presented himself as an independent Christian activist who does not align himself with either the Republican Party or the Democratic Party .
Rodriguez , who is the president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference , likes to claim that he doesn ’ t serve the agenda of the donkey ( the Democrats ) or the elephant ( the Republicans ) but strictly “ the Lamb ’ s agenda ” ( Jesus ) .
However , his recent appearance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ livestream , where he repeatedly attacked the Democratic Party , exposes that claim as nothing more than a self-serving charade .
Joining Trump spiritual advisers Paula White and Johnny Moore for a discussion hosted by John Pence , a nephew of Vice President Mike Pence , Rodriguez repeatedly used his time to attack the Democratic Party as a dire threat to the rights and freedoms of American Christians .
“ It ’ s an anti-Christian element hijacking the Democratic Party , ” he said .
“ It ’ s hostile to our Christian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The silence of Joe Biden , that silence right now makes him complicit , de facto affirming the actions that run against our Judeo-Christian value system.
” “ The Democratic Party has left the reservation of common sense and right now has great issues with faith , ” Rodriguez added .
“ How in the world do they want people of color to vote for a party that is anti their faith ?
If your Christianity is the most important thing in your life , dare ye not press the lever for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , your pro-life agenda , your pro-religious liberty agenda , and your agenda of biblical justice that will fulfill the dream of Martin Luther King Jr. ” “ Don ’ t tell me it ’ s just politics .
Policies matter .
And if you have issues with the personality , look at the policies .
For crying out loud , by your fruit you shall be known , ” he continued .
“ It ’ s about my children and my children ’ s children .
Silence is not an option .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s captivity .
We are what we tolerate , and there is no such animal as comfortable Christianity .
This November , vote life , religious liberty , vote biblical justice in the name of Jesus .

Right-wing pastor Hank Kunneman held a special “ Night of Prayer for America ” service at his Lord of Hosts church in Omaha , Nebraska , last night during which he tearfully begged God to anoint and protect President Donald Trump , Vice President Pence , and their administration heading into the election while thwarting the plans of their enemies .
“ Increase the anointing over this nation , ” Kunneman prayed .
“ Increase the anointing over this president .
Increase your anointing over Vice President Pence .

No weapon formed against this president and this administration , it shall not prosper.
” Eventually Kunneman began to weep as he proclaimed that Jesus does not deserve to have to rule over a nation that has become as wicked as America .
“ Jesus , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shed and died for , ” Kunneman cried .
“ You deserve the church to have liberty and freedom .
You deserve for children to not be aborted any longer in the Earth .

And so this night , I stand collectively as Moses stood before you , Great Jehovah God , and I say to you , ‘ Shall you not remember your covenant ?

rightwingwatch--2020-07-06--The Year of the GQP

The Year of the GQP

Michael Flynn served among the highest ranks of the U.S. military and obtained access to the nation ’ s most sensitive intelligence as President Donald Trump ’ s first national security adviser .
On Saturday evening , he uploaded a video of himself and five other people reciting an oath popular among believers of the QAnon conspiracy movement , which the FBI considers a potential source of domestic terrorism .
Flynn stared into the camera , his hand raised , and recited the QAnon movement ’ s hallmark mantra : “ Where we go one , we go all.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counsel , told the Washington Examiner that Flynn ’ s video had nothing to do with QAnon .
That is obviously nonsense , but even if that were true , QAnon followers had already interpreted Flynn ’ s video as a sign of support .
Once considered an outlandish fringe conspiracy theory , the QAnon movement has taken its far-right conspiracy theories to the heart of the Republican Party with no sign of retreat .
According to Media Matters senior researcher Alex Kaplan , 62 candidates for office have signaled support for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ candidates have won Republican primaries .
The GOP has been hesitant to repudiate the movement , and opportunities for party leadership to moderate its ranks have long since passed .
Marjorie Taylor Greene won a Republican primary in Georgia that placed her on a likely track to Congress despite the fact she has expressed support for QAnon .
House Republicans denounced Greene but not for her conspiratorial beliefs .
Instead , it was only after Politico surfaced a trove of videos in which Greene espoused racist and bigoted views that leading Republicans began @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Another QAnon believer , Jo Rae Perkins in Oregon , won her primary and retained support from her Republican endorsers .
In less than three years , the QAnon movement is securing undeniable positions of influence under the Republican Party banner .

Analysis
Michael Flynn served among the highest ranks of the U.S. military and obtained access to the nation’s most sensitive intelligence as President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser. On Saturday evening, he uploaded a video of himself and five other people reciting an oath popular among believers of the QAnon conspiracy movement, which the FBI considers a potential source of domestic terrorism.
Flynn stared into the camera, his hand raised, and recited the QAnon movement’s hallmark mantra: “Where we go one, we go all.” Sidney Powell, Flynn’s legal counsel, told the Washington Examiner that Flynn’s video had nothing to do with QAnon. That is obviously nonsense, but even if that were true, QAnon followers had already interpreted Flynn’s video as a sign of support.

Once considered an outlandish fringe conspiracy theory, the QAnon movement has taken its far-right conspiracy theories to the heart of the Republican Party with no sign of retreat. According to Media Matters senior researcher Alex Kaplan, 62 candidates for office have signaled support for the conspiracy theory, and 12 of those candidates have won Republican primaries. The GOP has been hesitant to repudiate the movement, and opportunities for party leadership to moderate its ranks have long since passed.
Marjorie Taylor Greene won a Republican primary in Georgia that placed her on a likely track to Congress despite the fact she has expressed support for QAnon. House Republicans denounced Greene but not for her conspiratorial beliefs. Instead, it was only after Politico surfaced a trove of videos in which Greene espoused racist and bigoted views that leading Republicans began to distance themselves from her candidacy. Another QAnon believer, Jo Rae Perkins in Oregon, won her primary and retained support from her Republican endorsers.
In less than three years, the QAnon movement is securing undeniable positions of influence under the Republican Party banner. GOP leaders could have stopped it, and now it may be too late.
In October 2017, an anonymous author began posting cryptic messages on 4chan’s “politically incorrect” message board, calling themself “Q” and claiming to be a top-level government official with access to classified intelligence information. ”Q” offered far-right Trump supporters fantastical hopes that their perceived social and political enemies were about to be or had already been arrested for horrific crimes, like child sex trafficking, and acts of treason involving secret plans to undermine Trump. “Q” told followers that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election never actually involved Trump and was a front for an investigation that targeted former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. And any day, “Q” promised, the public would learn the truth and those following along online would be vindicated. Reporter Paris Martineau wrote in New York magazine in 2017:
They believe all of this will be coming to a head any day now. That “The Storm” — of arrests, political turmoil, and Republican vindication — is coming. Though there have been some, uh, miscalculations as for exactly when.
More than two-and-half years have passed without Q’s promised mass arrests, yet the conspiracy theory is as potent as ever, with new layers.
QAnon followers point to Flynn as an example of Republican vindication, portraying him as a patriot besieged by the deep state but who fought back and won. Even before his pledge, The Daily Beast reported that former three-star general had begun embracing his devout QAnon fans, granting the movement newfound validation and becoming what may be its highest-profile star to date.

First Lady Melania Trump appeared at the Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore last week wearing a white dress featuring bold black drawings of human figures .
Naturally , right-wing conspiracy theorists like Liz Crokin immediately began spreading baseless claims that the images on her dress were “ inspired by drawings from victims of sexual abuse and/or Satanic Ritualistic Abuse.
” In fact , the first lady was wearing a dress from Alexander McQueen ’ s spring collection called “ Dancing Girls ” featuring images drawn by design students attending Central Saint Martins in London .
This information was readily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minute of basic research , but why do any research when you can just rely on misinformation gleaned from social media to spread conspiracy theories ?
Such seems to have been the thought process of MAGA life coach and right-wing broadcaster Brenden Dilley , who has proudly bragged that he doesn ’ t “ give a fuck about being factual , ” reported on his livestream today that it was no coincidence that Melania Trump wore that dress just days after Ghislaine Maxwell , a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein , was arrested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a post from the right-wing Instagram account Uncle Sam ’ s Misguided Children , Dilley praised the first lady for being so “ fucking ballsy and courageous ” as to wear the dress to the Independence Day celebration .
“ It is a dress designed by Alexander McQueen using sketches drawn by victims of child sexual abuse to describe their feelings , ” Dilley said .
“ The first lady is incredible .
That is ballsy , OK ?
Melania Trump , I always highlight the fact that she ’ s graceful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and elegant , but one thing that I probably need to highlight more frequently—and I ’ ve done it a couple of times , but not recently—is how fucking ballsy and courageous that woman is.
” “ She is sending a message to the deep state , ” he continued .
“ I refuse to believe that Melania Trump just happened to wear that dress two , three days after Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested , and it ’ s been now reported that she is participating and giving up names and information of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sex trafficking , and Melania wears that dress ?
I do not think that ’ s an accident or a coincidence .

During Sunday’s “Breaking News Bible Study” program, which airs on radio station WETR in Knoxville, Tennessee, radical anti-LGBTQ activist Scott Lively and his co-host Richard May urged President Donald Trump to use his second term in office to “dismantle” media outlets like CNN and charge employees at those outlets with sedition.
“Marxism is a cancer in our society,” Lively said. “We can’t just have an election and then let everything continue on the way that it is. These media organizations—CNN and all this—they need to be taken down. They need to be dismantled. … You can’t just simply allow the infrastructure of our civilization to be consumed by a cancer. You have to cut it out.”
May agreed, saying that the House of Representatives should establish a new House Un-American Activities Committee to root out subversives, which would then hopefully instill in Trump “the fortitude to start some sedition charges against people.”

rightwingwatch--2020-07-07--Dennis Prager Claims That So-Called Cancel Culture ‘Dwarfs McCarthyism’

Dennis Prager , conservative commentator and namesake of the PragerU digital media outlet , asserted in an interview with The Epoch Times that conservative opinions are suppressed worse today in the United States than communism was in the era of McCarthyism .
McCarthyism refers to a period in the 1950s in which Sen. Joseph McCarthy conducted hearings and investigations attempting to prove that various factions of the U.S. government and society had been infiltrated by communists .

“ The suppression of opinion in America today is unprecedented .
It dwarfs McCarthyism , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s no comparison , but there are parallels , because anti-communism was a noble cause .

Dennis Prager, conservative commentator and namesake of the PragerU digital media outlet, asserted in an interview with The Epoch Times that conservative opinions are suppressed worse today in the United States than communism was in the era of McCarthyism.
McCarthyism refers to a period in the 1950s in which Sen. Joseph McCarthy conducted hearings and investigations attempting to prove that various factions of the U.S. government and society had been infiltrated by communists. McCarthy’s investigations often resulted in severe personal and professional fallout for McCarthy’s targets and created widespread paranoia about an internal threat of communism.
Prager sat down with The Epoch Times senior editor Jan Jekielek for an episode of the outlet’s “American Thought Leaders” longform interview series, which was uploaded to YouTube on June 25. During the duo’s conversation, Prager agreed with Jekielek’s suggestion that so-called “cancel culture” was creating a “safe space” in the country that was unwelcoming to conservative thought and the free exchange of ideas.
“The suppression of opinion in America today is unprecedented. It dwarfs McCarthyism,” Prager said. “There’s no comparison, but there are parallels, because anti-communism was a noble cause. There are those who used anti-communism for ill ends. The Nazis were a perfect example. The left uses anti-racism, which is a noble idea, to be opposed to racism, as it was noble to be anti-communist, but they use it for ill ends. The parallels to the past are so eerie as to be breathtaking. … This is nationwide. This is prolonged. This has affected big business, newspapers, schools.”
Prager went on to support his claim by citing the late historian Eugene Genovese, who wrote in The New Republic decades ago that he feared his conservative colleagues were facing “a new McCarthyism” that was “in some ways more effective and vicious than the old.” Though Genovese once described himself as a pro-communist Marxist, over time, Genovese’s politics shifted, and he expressed public sympathy for right-wing causes.
Later on in the interview, Jekielek told Prager that it seemed to him that “so-called cancel culture” had “gone really into overdrive” since a white Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd, a Black man, ignoring Floyd’s cries that he couldn’t breathe. Prager indicated that he agreed, and went on to claim that systemic racism in the United States does not exist.
“There is zero reason to say America is racist,” Prager said. “There is zero reason to say the cops are systemically racist. There are racist cops, there are racist Americans. I’m a Jew. There are anti-Semitic Americans. America is the best country, best non-Jewish country Jews have ever lived in. This is the best non-Black country Blacks have ever lived in. Now it is—it obviously wasn’t when there was slavery. I’m talking about now and in the post-civil rights era.”
Prager asserted that protesters opposing system racism are “protesting a lie.”
