A fresh imbroglio within the Texas GOP made national news, where political bosses – all self-identified Christians – met at with infamous Nazi and Holocaust denier, Nick Fuentes. The strategy meeting, which lasted some 6 hours, was held at the offices of a consulting firm that has fronted millions of dollars for right-wing candidates. According to Texas Tribune reporting, “Fuentes has celebrated a growing wave of hatred and violence that he hopes will get ‘uglier and a lot worse’ for Jews and others he deems inferior.
In condemning this budding friendship with evil, Speaker of Texas House of Representatives, Dade Phelan, did not mince words. With a bit of editing, I changed his words to ask, What Would Jesus Do?
“Anti-Semitism, bigotry and Hitler apologists should find no sanctuary in the Republican Party, Christianity.” he said. “We cannot — and must not — tolerate the tacit endorsement of such vile ideologies.”
“There is no excuse to keep tainted funds from an organization that provides a platform for hatemongers, sexual predators, racists and Nazi sympathizers.”, Phelan continued.
What should Christians do?? Maybe hearing James, the brother of our Lord would help: “Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.” (James 1:21)
