Right Wing Watch 👀 The Christian nationalist program “FlashPoint” has, since its inception, served as a platform for spreading wild conspiracy theories and Christian nationalist disinformation.

That pattern continued when “FlashPoint” hosted an event in Oklahoma last week at which former Rep. Michele Bachmann delivered a speech overflowing with falsehoods about the supposedly Christian nature of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

While reminiscing about obtaining her law degree from Oral Roberts University, a right-wing evangelical university located in Oklahoma, Bachmann bragged that her professors required the students to learn about the founding of this nation using “primary source documents.”

“So they had us read what is it that the founders read? Who are the philosophers they read?” Bachmann said. “The number one document they referred to when they were trying to figure out what kind of a country we should be; guess what? The Bible!”

As Right Wing Watch has explained multiple times, this claim is a deliberate misrepresentation of a 1984 study conducted by professor Donald S. Lutz of the University of Houston that sought to identify which writers and sources of ideas were most cited in “the political writings of Americans published between 1760 and 1805.”

Michele Bachmann Spreads False Christian Nationalist History

Right Wing Watch ✒ While some religious-right politicians, preachers, and pundits are embracing the term “Christian nationalism,” former Rep. Michele Bachmann told a group of pro-Trump prayer warriors earlier this month that they should reject the term.

On Nov. 4, Bachmann appeared on a monthly prayer call hosted by Intercessors for America, a group that was closely aligned with the Trump White House and promotes MAGA ideology and conspiracy theories. Bachmann and IFA’s Dave Kubal prayed for God’s intervention in the midterm elections and urged conservative Christians to help elect like-minded candidates.

Christian nationalism is a political ideology that has received increasing public attention in recent years, especially after the role it played in the Jan. 6 insurrection. Scholars have documented that Americans who hold strongly Christian nationalist views are also more likely to support authoritarianism and to believe that violence may be justified in the pursuit of political goals.

Bachmann called the use of the term “Christian nationalism” a “national smear campaign against believing Christians” that she said is designed to intimidate pastors and suppress voter turnout among conservative Christians. In reality, the increasingly aggressive Christian nationalism of the religious right has sparked significant criticism and resistance from many other Christians.

Michele Bachmann Calls Christian Nationalism A ‘National Smear Campaign’ Against Christians

Right Wing Watch ✒ Michele Bachmann Says God Told Her to Keep Critical Race Theory From Making Americans Forget 9/11.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Pat Robertson’s Regent University is hosting an event today featuring a variety of right-wing and religious-right activists and conspiracy theorists.

Former Rep. Michele Bachmann, who now serves as the dean of Regent’s Robertson School of Government, will lead the event, which will feature the likes of Jonathan Cahn, John Ashcroft, Frank Gaffney, John Eidsmoe, and more.

To promote the event, Bachmann appeared on a World Prayer Network call Wednesday evening, where she claimed that she had been called by God to convene the event because proponents of critical race theory are likely to ignore it “because America was the victim that day.”

“The Lord spoke to me about four months ago and said to do a conference on Sept. 11,” Bachmann said.

America has taken a turn. From all of our cultural gatekeepers—whether it is from the entertainment industry, academia, even corporate culture—America is now becoming an ‘anti’ view. It is not a pro-America view; it is an anti-America view.
