I agree - my first reaction also.
I'll read further down the posts for other insights, but my guess is that he really is not a "theological conservative evangelical Christian". He might like to apply that label to himself, however I doubt he reveres and fears God.
Otherwise he'd flee the company of the wicked.
Psalm 1, Verse 1:
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
(Yeah, it’s ONE thing to be a feckless sheep being fleeced—which is the way it is for many grassroots who remain Democrats ... some Democrats-in-Name-Only... due to family tradition...’tis another to be a pied piper attempting to steal sheep to blindly follow their political cause)
