Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., responded to a recent Kansas City Star article appearing to link her faith to "White Christian nationalism," which the congresswoman said tried to make her look like a "radical."
The Missouri lawmaker is running for Sen. Roy Blunt's open seat in Missouri’s crowded GOP primary this August and was the subject of story titled, "Running God's way: Can Vicky Hartzler's 'conservative biblical values' win a Senate seat?" The article was published by the KC Star on Easter Sunday.
Reporter Daniel Desrochers suggested Hartzler's Christian views about returning the country to its traditional values mirrored "White Christian nationalism." The reporter even brought up the Salem Witch Trials.
"Hartzler does not identify with the Christian nationalist movement, which can be described as a fusion of conservative Christianity with American civic life," Descrochers wrote. "But some of her language strikes notes directly from the heart of the movement."
He adds that American Christian nationalism can be traced back to individuals who were involved in the persuction of women during the Salem Witch Trials.
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Hartzler said she had denied being any way involved with that movement, but the reporter chose to spend several paragraphs "subtly linking" her to a movement with racist overtones to make her appear like an extremist.

Hartzler has no link with me and my fellows. Strictly establishment, the Kehoe and Parson wing of the party. Rent seekers. Hope they enjoy that LIHTC over which they squeezed Greitens out of his duly elected office as governor.
“the persuction of women during the Salem Witch Trials.”
Wow! I thought they just dunked and burned them.
They did get her to apologize & grovel for being White, that’s what they wanted. And Christian.
“Salem Witch trials”
Sounds like a ridiculous, sensationalist, and baseless accusation. Radical leftists themselves tend to be “over-the-top” in their accusations. Readers don’t make the effort to evaluate their claims.
What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats will do to us.
Daniel Desrochers is a typical leftwing “journalist”. In other words a filthy propaganda hack for the DNC.
“...does not identify with the Christian nationalist movement. “But...”
An ideal propaganda way of writing, there...”
The only people who dies during the Salem Witch trials were the actual Christians, who never denied their faith. The ones who “admitted” to being witches survived.
Hartzler voted against certifying the 2020 election.
“Hartzler does not identify with the Christian nationalist movement, which can be described as....’ ....American.
Yes, but that was after they assumed their pronouns and imposed traditional gender roles on them, which were the real crimes.
Hmmm, maybe this is Bush League bushwhacking.
Confused, here - are you saying Hartzler made Greitens have the affair?
Ahhh, the ol’ Red Star.
Never changes.
Leftist pukes.
Why we even bother with their stories...
She may be Christian but she is also a RINO!! Not voting for her!!
Don’t conflate the reason with the excuse. Follow the money.
Where exactly is she is a RINO? She is and has been conservative across the board:
