Political reality . . .
There were a surprising number of conservatives who didn't quite agree with the Senator's recent endorsement of Christian nationalism in a broad sense.
The separation of church & state is a fundamental constitutional principle and something that few conservatives want to fundamentally change.
In a recent interview, the Missouri leader offered clarification along with a stunning rebuke against KC's largest almost daily newspaper . . .
Here's the word . . .
“You know, I don’t ever read anything the Kansas City Star writes on principle,” Hawley said. “They’re a joke, and such a disgrace."
And now, in fairness, more detail on his recent money line . . .

“Give me a break. This country was founded by believers, No. 1. Our constitutional principles come down to us from the Christian tradition. And I am not afraid to say that. It is the absolute truth, and because of that it has made us the freest, most humane, most just country in the history of the world.”
The Star quoted Hawley as telling the audience, “Some will say now that I am calling America a Christian nation. So I am. And some will say that I am advocating Christian nationalism. And so I do.”
But he also went on to compare Christian nationalism to other kinds through the millennia.
