But he acknowledged that he would like to outlaw Muslim calls to prayer and, if possible, ban Islam itself, along with Buddhism, Hinduism and “other pagan religions.” He wants to treat abortion as murder and would deny the morning-after pill to rape victims.

He would also outlaw same-sex marriage and criminalize some sexual acts between consenting adults of the same sex.

“I just kinda boiled the two words down to a ‘Christian’ — I am that, I will not deny Christ — and I am a nationalist. I am an America-first, Tennessee-first person. So I didn’t think that was a detrimental term,” Fritts said, explaining his use of the term Christian nationalist.

    Maybe he should read the constitution he has sworn to uphold before he sputters such nonsense.

    Maybe the potential GOP voters should do the same in order to understand that he is bullshitting them.

      I still have to hold back a big laugh right into the faces of xtians that say that about so many religions, including, sometimes, even other branches of xtianity, LOL.

      Not even kidding. I’ve heard evangelicals say that Mormons and Catholics are “pagans”.

        At least with Mormons it kinda makes sense since in a lot of ways they are probably the most divergent large Christian group nowadays. Still ain’t pagans even if they are in a lot of ways just protestant gnostics.

    Keep the conversations on AI Datacenters, War and Isreal, and GOP Tax outcomes from the last decade.

    His constituents actually LIKE his racism and phobia, its pointless to promote him.

      It’s not about doing those things, it’s about winning an election so you can get a nice sized grift going from inside public office.
