TL/DR –
Floyd Brown, the founder of the Western Journal and campaign chairman for Kari Lake’s U.S. Senate campaign, has expressed a desire for Christians to take over the U.S. He believes this can be achieved by local churches taking control of their towns and extending that control to the national level. Kari Lake, who is striving to present herself as mainstream, has aligned herself with Christian nationalists, following the example of former President Donald Trump.
Christian Nationalist Floyd Brown Influences Kari Lake’s U.S. Senate Campaign
Christian nationalist Floyd Brown, founder of Arizona-based Western Journal, recently featured on the Victory Channel, a television program owned by televangelist Kenneth Copeland. In the program, called FlashPoint, Brown discusses his active role in Kari Lake’s U.S. Senate campaign.
Kari Lake has been attempting to present herself as mainstream, but her campaign chairman’s views might suggest otherwise. Brown expressed his ambition for Christians to dominate the United States, stating that every local church should take over their towns, and eventually, the country.
Lake’s Association with Christian Nationalists
Lake is following the footsteps of Donald Trump, who during his first presidential campaign, partnered with Christian nationalists, despite being arguably the least religious presidential candidate. This partnership, although controversial, proved mutually beneficial.
Trump has also appeared on the Victory Channel, the same platform where Brown expressed his views. He promised Christian nationalist broadcasters to extend their political influence, stating that Christianity was under attack more than any other religion.
Prosperous Pastors and Political Influence
Kenneth Copeland, the owner of the Victory Channel, is considered the wealthiest pastor in America, with an estimated net worth exceeding $750 million. Despite his wealth, Copeland, known for his extravagant lifestyle, has been living tax-free in a multimillion-dollar mansion, according to a Houston Chronicle article.
One of the shows on the Victory Channel concluded with a conservative pastor from South Carolina praying fervently for Trump, declaring America as a Christian nation and offering it back to God or potentially, to Trump.
