Is David Barton the #2 hater in America?

Christian nationalist pseudo-historian David Barton is such a pathological liar that he's out there claiming that "Right Wing Watch has me as the number two hater in America." Well, we're Right Wing Watch and we've never called him that and have no idea what he's talking about. pic.twitter.com/Vr5UN679t9

— Right Wing Watch (@RightWingWatch) October 26, 2022

Barton is a pretty easy guy to fact check:

Religious-right pseudo-historian David Barton has been instrumental in creating the Christian nationalism ideology, but the "history" he teaches is often entirely false. For instance, all the claims he makes about this 1844 SCOTUS case are untrue. https://t.co/UB6FWuNIsH pic.twitter.com/lMDYZgwXSQ

Sean Feucht and Charlie Kirk vs. T.D. Jakes. And here. And here:

Let it be known to all in Christianity that T.D. Jakes proudly hosts the most radical abortion candidate imaginable in a place of worship. Heretic and fool. https://t.co/61KJO5JNFC

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) October 24, 2022

More on T.D. Jakes and Beto O’Rourke from guys with “no axe to grind.”

A former megachurch pastor sues a woman who accused him of rape.

Social media outlets have censored Jack Hibbs. He responds with this:

Today, Pastor Jack shares with us that Jesus is now back in His hometown and regardless of His fame and miracles, they’re treating Him with skepticism and contempt. They viewed Him as common, and missed His Gospel message with their prejudice. https://t.co/6Iqv578lFZ

Jenna only likes her fact checkers:

Does anyone ever believe anything “independent fact checkers” report?

Dr. A.J. Nolte from @RegentU on the Left's obsession with the label Christian Nationalism.

Tony on the word “soul”:

President Biden repeatedly claims, “there is a battle for the soul of America.”

Apparently, spiritual connotations are acceptable when Democrats use them but not when Republicans or Evangelicals do?

Does this make Joe Biden a ‘Christian nationalist?’ pic.twitter.com/b96xoBrR6B
