President Trump holds a Bible outside St. John's Church across Lafayette Square from the White House on June 1, 2020. The ruckus at NBC over Ronna McDaniel’s very brief career as a political commentator might seem unrelated to Donald Trump’s venture into selling MAGA-branded Bibles. But they both tell the same story: how Trump is warping our nation’s core institutions.
“There were issues.” Really? This is giving with one hand and taking with the other, a soft way of rationalizing the GOP’s war on elections.It’s astonishing that NBC’s top brass failed to see why McDaniel was not just some random conservative contributor or to anticipate the revolt her hiring would inspire.
I’ll concede it not an easy question to answer, but the wild oscillation in the views of White evangelical Christians over a relatively short period suggests a kind of conversion that has little to do with faith.If pairing Trump’s effect on the media and religion seems odd, keep in mind that both institutions have historically served as checks on power. They are also sources of social cohesion and venues for public learning. As the Bible tells us, “The truth shall make you free” .
