Co-host blames 'Christian nationalism' for mass shootings! The View co-host Tara Setmayer linked the Uvalde shooting with ‘Christian nationalism’ (By Joe Silverstein | Fox News)

‘The View’ host: Republican Party isn’t ‘in line with American values’

On Tuesday, ABC’s "The View" co-host Tara Setmayer blamed the Uvalde school shooting on a "rise in violent Christian nationalism."

"It’s part of the Christian nationalism, this rise in violent Christian nationalism, that we have seen, which is also disturbing. They use biblical principles, they pervert them to justify this," Setmayer said.

"Particularly in Texas, this is a growing movement," she continued."It’s God, guns and Trump". Or God, guns and whatever. It’s a part of their ethos."

Setmayer, who serves as a senior advisor for the anti-Republican group the Lincoln Project, was filling in as the guest host in the lone conservative spot on the show.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg added on to Setmayer's point, appearing to blame Christians for slavery and racism.

"It’s always been this. This was the way it was down south. They used to use the Bible and say you’re not people, God doesn’t see you as people, so we don’t see you as people," Goldberg said.

Goldberg went on to call for the banning of AR-15s...........

"I don’t care NRA. You got to give that gun up. You can have your other ‘ye-ha guns’, whatever you want. The AR-15 is not a hunting gun. It is not a gun where you are going to go out and shoot your dinner," Goldberg said. "This gun is meant to kill people. That’s what it’s for. And you can’t have it anymore."

The conversation was sparked when co-host Sunny Hostin criticized Daniel Defense, a gun manufacturer, for a since deleted tweet that featured a child holding an unloaded gun with a biblical verse attached.

The View’s comments reflect a pattern by some in the media to label Christianity as a vehicle for violence and white supremacy. Last month, TIME published an article titled "It’s Time to Stop Giving Christianity a Pass on White Supremacy and Violence."

Similarly, a LA Times columnist slammed Christians who turned to faith in response to the Uvalde shooting, accusing them of supporting a "​​return to the kind of faith that allowed brutal enslavement to be the law of the land for centuries."

President Biden has faced criticism for repeating a false and debunked narrative that the 2nd Amendment did not allow people to own cannons at the time of the United States’ founding.

  • Holding Slaved was banned in 1863... however, the importation and sale of imported slaves were banned in 1807... It was never legal to own or traffic in slavery in all of the US Colonies...

    The claim that slavery was part of the US for over 200yrs is a lie ... and at least a complete misrepresentation of the facts. Below is a map showing the largest number of slaves held in each state. We must remember that 600K white men perished to free these slaves... any reparations were surely paid in blood.  Fewer than 3% of the Nation's population ever owned slaves and some freed Blacks had no problem owning slaves... not to mention that it was and remains an acceptable practice among some African tribes... to this day.

      Isn't it odd the man who has the strongest belief in G*d is the most hated by the Left!!!???

      Trump lashes out at Fox News for new poll showing him losing to Democrats -  Vox

    • The Great Prophet, Kim Clement, long passed away, made multiple prophecies over Trump, one that Trump would not be a praying man before entering the Office of the Presidency, but would be after taking office. He also prophesied 2 terms, and that the world would change due to him. 

      check some out.

    Question for everyone: Why aren't the Churches creating underground railroads, waiting homes and jobs for the destroyed Ukrainian families?  How then will the left critize Christians and Churches if they are doing the right thing?

    • Many Churches are doing exactly what you suggest... However, the MSM is not about to publish the great efforts made by the Church and its many NGOs to relieve the suffering of the oppressed worldwide.  I would suggest you check with Samaratains Purse... a Billy Graham ministry working around the world relieving the oppressed wherever they may be found... including the Eukrain... they are also working in Sudan... the latest hotbed of violence.  Then there is the Salvation Army and its many efforts to relieve man's suffering including in the Eukrain...

      The Church and its many NGOs... is the largest single human body working to relieve humanity's suffering.  May I remind you that the RED CROSS was and remains a Christian Organization... the RED CROSS is the EMBEM of its Christian roots.

  • I'm both, and the people that think this, are the real criminals! 

  • The rights of the people shall not be abridged. Not means NO, for those who can't read.
