‘I Think All the Christians Get Slaughtered’: Inside the MAGA Road Show Barnstorming America
Rolling Stone via Yahoo! News ^ | Sat, September 17, 2022 at 2:04 PM | Sam Kestenbaum

The cast assembles on the megachurch stage, each taking their turn in a pool of light.

There are doomsaying prophets with curved shofars, aspiring politicians lamenting election fraud, and naturopathic physicians warning of demonic invasion. Mike Lindell steps forward and says evil forces are undoing the nation. Roger Stone gives an apocalyptic homily. Michael Flynn lobs T-shirts into the pews. Scott McKay, alias Patriot Streetfighter, gyrates to the sounds of AC/DC while chopping a tomahawk in the air. In time, the Trump brothers appear and Eric puts his dad on speaker phone.

Praise music floats in the air and the crowd rocks back and forth. At one moment, a woman drops to the floor — “Hallelujah, hallelujah” — and speaks in tongues.

Standing at stage-right, surveying the festivities this July night in Virginia Beach, is a tall, bespectacled 41-year-old man named Clay Clark. With cropped blond hair and a toothy grin, he steps up to the lectern between each act, standing near a variety show gong. “Alright, ladies and gentlemen, how many of you believe Jesus is king? How many of you believe that Donald J. Trump is their president?” Whoops from the pews. “How many of you believe that Michael Flynn is America’s general?” More applause. “And how many of you believe in the power of prayer?”

Equal parts tent revival, campaign rally, and three-ring circus, this is the latest stop on the ReAwaken America Tour, a monthly MAGA pageant that fills megachurches across the country. Before last year, Clark was a provincial talk-show personality and business guru from Oklahoma; today he is a Vince McMahon frontman of a misinformation megashow.

This is the same left wing rag that published a cover with the Boston bomber.

Oh noossss! People having fun!

If these MAGA people would just wake up and see that a Biden rally is just so much better. Who wouldn’t want to stand in a small quarantine circle surrounded by a cheering crowd of ten other people?

Oh for sure. I was just saying that it's so weird, including the huge fake breasts next to a table saw, that it seems like some bizarre picture someone created to be shocking.

The school board's bs comments, sounding so 'inclusive' and woke, are ridiculous.

First, our individual rights do not allow us to hurt others. To me this should include not being a distraction in a high school classroom. What if a very buxom hot heterosexual female teacher wore a similarly tight shirt, perhaps showing a ton of cleavage, short shorts, fishnet stockings, and 5 inch heels to class - saying she identified as a 'sex worker'. Would the board be okay with that? Isn't that her choice in the same way as the transexual teacher?

Isn’t that the magazine that had the phony rape story that they had to settle with U of V? WHY would I believe a word of this story?

This is the same “news magazine” that reported on a fake rape and did absolutely no investigation because if they had they would have seen her story was physically impossible.

I know of the reported school.

Oakville Trafalgar High School
Located in the wealthiest neighborhood Oakville, a very wealthy city in Ontario Canada

Home to a Ford Assembly plant, and lots white collar professionals with careers in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Let’s see what happens

Kestenbaum is as “Jewish” as Karl Marx. Remember, the national socialists get their notion that communism is a “Jewish plot to rule the world” from the fact that Marx’s grandfather was rabbi of Trier, Germany (Marx was atheist, and his father converted from Judaism to Lutheranism).

And seeing as how I’ve never heard of either Clay Clark or “ReAwaken America”, I will wait for further evidence of these people being Christian, and evidence beyond Flynn’s attendance that they are not just another liberal false flag.
