    Pretty sure the “R” next to his name was enough to tie him to Christian nationalism.

      Came here to say this. I have assumed for at least the last 20 years that any Republican politician is a christian nationalist, and though I don’t have specific figures, I think I’ve probably been correct 99% of the time.

      That 1% is just due to caution – I don’t have anyone in mind.

        There’s that whole “the family” thing.

        They approach young first term republicans in DC, and shower them with attention and bribes/donations. To play ball, you almost have to deal with them. Because everyone else in your party already did, you’ll never get preference over another member.
