I’ve been doing this work for a long time, and I’ve never seen anything like that post.
Human rights experts and legal scholars have a name for threatening to destroy a civilian population. It’s a war crime — genocide.
I never thought I’d be writing an email that includes the sentence: Marjorie Taylor Greene agrees with us that this kind of declaration is the opposite of what Christians should care about and is evil.
She posted this on X today: “25TH AMENDMENT. Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.”
On Easter Sunday, she called on every Christian in the administration to “fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God.” Even Tucker Carlson has broken with Trump over this war, saying the nuclear codes should be taken from the president.
This isn’t a message to praise the likes of MTG; it’s to demonstrate how dangerous this moment in time is. How dangerous Donald Trump is.
Robb Ryerse and I talked through all of it on today’s podcast. What does it mean when people from every corner of the right are using the word evil in reference to Trump?
