Harris puts the final nail in the coffin of Christian nationalism panic
Fascinating.
As America’s agonizing, enervating and nail-biting presidential election nears its conclusion, Vice President Kamala Harris has apparently seen the light — at least according to some of the political ads and proclamations emerging from her campaign, friends and allies.
Ms. Harris, indubitably seeking to bolster her faith standing among voters, recently made the head-turning decision to speak at Koinonia Christian Center Church in Greenville, North Carolina, where Bishop Rosie O’Neal heralded the Democratic presidential candidate as a “phenomenal servant of God.”
During the service, Ms. Harris spoke about how having faith can help people navigate tough times, The Christian Post reported.
“It is easy in these moments of crisis to question our faith, to sometimes lose our faith for a moment because [of] what we see,” Ms. Harris said, going on to offer praise for being part of the worship event. “It does my heart and soul good.”
At other points, she said “faith is a verb,” encouraged people to take action and shared a number of Bible verses as part of what The Hill called an “an appeal to Black voters.”
In an era when a Republican candidate cannot breathe in the same space as a pastor without rampant hyperventilation and claims of “Christian nationalism,” Ms. Harris was somehow able to skate by with not even the faintest of whimpers from the legacy press. It’s something conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt astutely covered in his own analysis of the church speech.
