Ah, the memories! Court evangelicals in their natural habitat

Eric Metaxas responds to Joe Biden’s claim that the January 6 insurrection was the “worst attack on democracy since the Civil War”

Eric Metaxas on Mike “MyPillow Guy” Lindell’s conspiracy theories: “I’m tracking perfectly with you” and I am “in awe” of what you are saying
Sidney Powell says that no reasonable person would believe her claim that Dominion Voting Systems rigged the 2020 presidential election. Does this mean that Mike Lindell and Eric Metaxas are not reasonable? The MyPillow Guy still believes that Dominion Voting...
Sidney Powell says “reasonable people” would not accept her claims about election fraud “as fact”

A Sunday morning check-in with the MAGA evangelicals:
Their rage has turned to Biden, Limbaugh haters, Timothy Keller, Twitter, Ted Cruz haters, and those controlling the seven mountains of influence. Here we go: David Brody on Trump’s “traditional biblical values.” Tweets like this explain why so many evangelicals...
No one is taking away Eric Metaxas’s freedom of speech. People just don’t want to give their platforms to conspiracy theorists.
