Right-wing host wants overthrow of democracy: ‘We didn’t get all the way there on Jan. 6’ http://www.rawstory.com/jack-posobiec-overthrow-democracy/
Jack Posobiec, a right-wing host and activist, told a group of conservatives that their goal should be overthrowing democracy because they didn't get the job done on Jan. 6, 2021.
At a Wednesday Conservative Political Action Conference event, Posobiec welcomed the audience as a panel session began with former White House strategist Steve Bannon.
"All right, welcome, welcome, I just wanted to say welcome to the end of democracy," he announced. "We're here to overthrow it completely, we didn't get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here, we'll replace it with this right here."
Posobiec held up what appeared to be a necklace with a Christian cross pendant.
"All right, amen!" Bannon exclaimed.
"That's right, because all glory, all glory is not to government, all glory to God," Posobiec added.
Allies of Donald Trump have said they are prepared to infuse "Christian nationalism" into the former president's 2024 campaign.
Former Trump official Russell Vought is said to be spearheading the effort.
"Christian nationalists in America believe that the country was founded as a Christian nation and that Christian values should be prioritized throughout government and public life," Politico reported on Tuesday. "As the country has become less religious and more diverse, Vought has embraced the idea that Christians are under assault and has spoken of policies he might pursue in response."
Posobiec is known for conservative activism and conspiracy theories.
A Southern Poverty Law Center investigation found that the activist "collaborated with white supremacists, neo-fascists and antisemites for years, while producing propaganda that Trump and his inner circle have publicly celebrated."
“Jack Posobiec’s extensive ties to white supremacists should serve as a wake-up call for anyone who hasn’t made the connection between Trump’s MAGA movement and hate,” SPLC reporter Michael Edison Hayden said.
