She wants Christians to know the truth.
In a recent op-ed for The Daily Wire, Candace Owens raised concerns about the politicization of the term “Christian nationalism” by the Left, aiming to sow discord within the Christian community.
Owens highlighted the increasing prevalence of the term, noting its frequent appearance in contemporary discourse. She expressed dismay at the way Christianity is now often associated with negative connotations, equating it with ideologies like white supremacy.
The conservative commentator recounted her own experience of being blacklisted from a publication due to accusations of being a Christian nationalist, a label she believes is being maliciously employed to suppress Christian perspectives by linking them with extremist ideologies.
She further observed a surge in discussions around Christian nationalism in mainstream media outlets, with publications like PBS, Axios, NPR, and The New York Times dedicating coverage to the topic.
Owens criticized Rob Reiner’s recent documentary, “God and Country,” which she described as biased propaganda. Despite its modest box office performance, the film has garnered attention, particularly as Reiner promotes it through media appearances.
During an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Reiner expressed concerns about the widespread influence of Christian nationalism, a sentiment Owens dismissed as exaggerated and misplaced in the face of more pressing societal issues.
Owens argued against the portrayal of Christian nationalists as a significant threat, emphasizing that they are not the primary concern amidst issues like crime, immigration, and violence.
She framed the critiques against Christian nationalism as part of a broader cultural campaign against Christianity in the United States, suggesting it is aimed at dividing and manipulating Christian communities.
Owens concluded by asserting that such attacks on Christian nationalism are part of a longstanding effort to undermine Christianity, a trend she believes has been ongoing for decades.
Owens is spot on!
