The DNC’s concern comes months after online personality and white nationalist Nick Fuentes was reported to have dined with former President Donald Trump in the company of the rapper Ye, also known as Kanye West.
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who spoke at a conference organized by Fuentes last year, is among a handful of prominent Republicans who openly identify with Christian nationalism. Greene has called for the GOP to become the “party of Christian nationalism.”
When RNS polled more than 50 prominent Republicans to ask if they had any reaction to Greene’s rhetoric last year, only two — Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma and Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina — responded. The lawmakers, both of whom are Christian, appealed to the value of the separation of church and state.
