‘You’ve Used Jesus as a Mascot’—‘Piers Morgan Uncensored’ Panelists Slam Pastor Douglas Wilson

Pastor Douglas Wilson Cites ‘Disconnect’ Among MAGA Leaders

Piers Morgan played clips of White House faith adviser Paula White-Cain saying things such as “where I stand is holy” and “I’m downloading heaven.” Wilson responded, “I would not agree with that at all.” The pastor said Morgan’s video montage was wonderful evidence for White-Cain being “a bad choice for that office.”

Next, Morgan cited the crumbling of Trump’s “former rock-solid MAGA support,” including former backers Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, and Alex Jones. “I’m slightly baffled by Trump’s strategy of just dumping all over all these people,” Morgan said. “He did the same to Riley Gaines last week when she, quite rightly, said she didn’t like [Trump’s] imagery of [himself as] Jesus…No Christian should like the president of the United States doing that.”

When asked what this means for upcoming elections, Tim Miller said Trump voters are pushing back because the war is negatively impacting their lives. Many people voted for Trump, Miller said, because he told them he wasn’t going to get us into “dumb Middle East wars.” Trump’s “bullying” doesn’t work when his “MAGA base isn’t with him,” according to Miller.

Wilson said he thinks there’s “an even greater distance and a disconnect between the ostensible leaders of the MAGA base” and the base itself. “Turning Point [USA] is still representative of the MAGA base, the rank and file,” said Wilson, “and the people who have the big podcasts are not representing that base.”

Pointing to the heckling Vice President J.D. Vance received from young Republicans last week, Wajahat Ali said, “Let them fight.” About the “splintering” within MAGA, the progressive journalist said, “They’re creating an America First movement away from Donald Trump” because “he has betrayed his own base…his base is finally fed up.”
