CNN special covers rise of ‘Christian nationalism,’ triggered by Charlie Kirk assassination

CNN’s Pamela Brown has been analyzing the “rising influence of Christian nationalism” in the United States, and the hour-long documentary will air this weekend.

The preview started off with the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who expressed his faith in every facet of his life. His killing started a movement toward religious values for those horrified by what many believe was a politically-motivated shooting.

Watch:

CNN’s Pamela Brown announces she’s been working on a “special project” warn against “Christian nationalism” and portrays them as a radicalized threat to the country.

She then launches into a report where she fears the assassination of Charlie Kirk uniting Christians and scoffs… pic.twitter.com/1J63ta6EIO

“Experts say it was a pivotal movement and an occasion where the tragedy of his loss unified Christian nationalists and the Trump administration as they honored him,” Brown said, making it sound as though the people she is talking about are part of an undesirable group rather than normal people who believe the United States was founded on Christian values.

“Memorial service was one of the most potent examples of this shift in our culture that we’re experiencing right now, where a large segment of American Christians are being activated by these ideas, radicalized by these ideas that say that they are the persecuted ones and that they need to stand up for Christians rights,” said Georgetown University Center on Faith and Justice Matthew Taylor in the clip.

X users jumped on the documentary:

More CNN fear mongering. I doubt CNN would do the same thing for the Muslim religion.

Loving God and America means you’re radicalized.

Got it!

We’ve all felt some sort of unification since Kirk’s murder. Some drawn towards it, others fear it. I lack tolerance for these fear farmers

Until the Dems spend the same amount of time and effort to denounce and separate themselves from the openly admitted communists, socialists and Marxists that are currently welcome in the Dem party nothing they say has any merit.

It is almost impossible not to despise the leftist media.
