What was said
"We've seen the elevation. Um the strongest supporters in the country of the least Christlike figure possibly to emerge in modern times are white evangelical Christians."
Jonathan Rauch argues that parts of the white evangelical church in the US have become closely aligned with Republican politics. He says this has helped elevate what he calls the “least Christlike figure” to have emerged in modern times, and he describes a “church of fear” and “battlefield mindset” reported by some pastors.
