Breaking with Trump, Jacobson continued,
was clearly a greater sin in the eyes of most ordinary Republicans than anything Trump had done to subvert democracy or incite the Capitol mob.
The drop in Republican support for McConnell was
a telling sign of Trump’s continuing ascendancy among Republican identifiers and a clear warning to any Republican leader who might want to marginalize the ex-president.
Lerone Martin, a professor of religion and politics at Washington University in St. Louis, has a different but complementary take on the McConnell-Trump confrontation. McConnell, Martin argues, has boxed himself in:
McConnell finds himself in the position of Dr. Victor Frankenstein: the very entity that McConnell has helped to create, piece and hold together during the Trump presidency so-called “governing” Republicans one the one hand, and the QAnon/white Christian nationalists conspiracy theorists on the other may prove to lead to his political destruction and downfall.
(RNS) In a long-awaited report released Monday (Feb. 1), a task force commissioned to study the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission calls the convention’s public policy arm a “significant distraction from the Great Commission work of Southern Baptists.”
Blaming the ERLC for the loss of more than a million dollars in constituent church donations to the denomination, the task force, led by Georgia pastor Mike Stone, quotes the leader of a state Baptist convention as saying, “The ERLC has been a stumbling block not worth the mission dollar investment.”
But there seems to be as much politics as economics in the report’s conclusions. It notes that in recent years, the fear of a “liberal” drift in the denomination has led some churches to leave the SBC or to withhold giving. Part of that dissatisfaction is aimed at the ERLC, and particularly at the Rev. Russell Moore, who has led the ERLC since 2013.
