An article from Salon.com went viral on Thursday for making the outrageous claim that MAGA Americans and Christian Americans are more dangerous than Hamas.
Salon White House correspondent Brian Karem wrote the piece.
In the House, those would likely include newly-minted House Speaker Mike Johnson (and that still sounds like a Bart Simpson prank call to Moe’s Bar), who took on McConnell directly, pushing to unlink aid to Israel from aid to Ukraine.
While the world burns, Johnson and the MAGA wing of the Republican Party — which seems to have swallowed the evangelical movement while also embracing it (a T-1000 morphing into Sarah Connor is just about the right image) — is embracing the darkest verses of the Bible, apparently pushing for apocalypse with an enthusiasm only rivaled by Saul’s slaughter of Christians before he changed his name to Paul.
…
The House of Representatives, now run by Johnson, offers a discount version of the apocalyptic orgasm the holy rollers have dreamed of for years. They’ve renewed the Inquisition and seem determined to convert the U.S. into a theocracy run by people who will thump you with the Bible, but haven’t read much of it.
Prominent conservative voices shared the piece, blasting it for sheer stupidity.
Salon thinks Christian nationalism (read: Trump supporters) is a bigger threat than Hamas terrorists.
This writer should feel free to move to Gaza, enjoy Sharia law, volunteer to be a human shield for one of their rocket depots, and then write the follow up piece. pic.twitter.com/hCCSh2myBk

Holy shit. I can’t believe the Left is actually admitting this out loud.
This is a real article from today. @Salon admits they think MAGA and Christian Nationalism is a bigger threat than HAMAS Islamic terrorists.
This is the Democrat Party.

Guess which one is the bigger treat to America according to Salon (a liberal news)?

Yep. Some editor at Salon actually signed off on this piece by Brian Karem, who somehow is a credentialed WH "reporter."
In a sane world they'd be out of a job in about 30 seconds. Instead, Salon is actually promoting it. https://t.co/DlcemFzzPZ

The DOJ also labels us terrorists.
But don’t worry I’m sure 23 Republicans will fire off strongly worded letters and media hits instead of censuring Terrorist Tlaib or taking any measurable action of accountability to stop the left from sending us to re-education camps. pic.twitter.com/6KlkTXpJe7
