J.D. Vance spoke Sunday at Turning Point USA’s annual #AmericaFest conference,
where Erika #Kirk, widow of the group’s slain founder, endorsed Vance for president in 2028.👉Vance demonized “the left,”
👉promoted Christian nationalism and right-wing populist conspiracy theories,
and, unlike other speakers,
👉refused to criticize far-right and antisemitic elements of the conservative movement like fascist personality Nick Fuentes.Other conference speakers were willing to challenge the movement’s bigots and extremists.
Podcaster Ben #Shapiro took on Tucker #Carlson for having provided Nick #Fuentes with an overly friendly platform from which to spread his poison.
(Carlson, also invited to speak, mocked Shapiro’s concerns.)
Former presidential candidate Vivek #Ramaswamy challenged Fuentes's bigotry along with racially coded ideas like “Heritage Americans” that have taken root in the MAGA movement.But Vance, who has his eye on 2028, was apparently not willing to risk alienating anyone on the right,
-- demonstrating the concept of #NETTR
—“no enemies to the right”

Dominionist leaders attending the youth-focused
Turning Point USA #AmericaFest conference in Phoenix over the weekend
portrayed Donald Trump’s election as a "spiritual warfare victory",
and urged Christian-right activists to “occupy” more territory by building a bigger Republican majority in Congress.The AmericaFest speaker lineup included Trump,
other MAGA politicians,
right-wing commentators like #Tucker #Carlson,
and dominionists like #Lance #Wallnau.
House Speaker Mike Johnson cancelled a planned appearance after becoming the target of MAGA rage over a bipartisan budget deal that was attacked by Elon Musk.In recent years, #TPUSA founder #Charlie #Kirk has made a public shift from promoting a kind a snarky, irreverent libertarianism
to embracing an aggressive Christian nationalism that characterizes much of the MAGA movement today.
Broadcasting from AmericaFest’s media row on Thursday night was “FlashPoint,”
a show launched by televangelist #Kenneth #Copeland’s "Victory Channel" in the fall of 2020
that has been a platform for pro-Trump propaganda and prophesying.
One panelist was Pastor #Rob #McCoy, a spiritual mentor to Kirk, who told viewers that he had been at TPUSA’s headquarters on election night,
and that when Pennsylvania was called for Trump, Kirk started weeping and said, “All glory to God.”A recurring theme from the show’s host #Gene #Bailey and his panelists was that Trump’s victory is no reason for the church to relax.
Wallnau said that conservative evangelical Christians are the key to keeping the political pendulum swinging to the right in the midterm elections two years from now -
