Ryan’s campaign to use the Bible as a tool to obtain media and political capital is going well!
Since he announced his not-very-well-received plan to indoctrinate children by forcing them to learn about the Bible’s debatable impact on our nation’s history, he’s accomplished his primary goal of improving his standing in right-wing media and political circles.
He’s even getting some attention from his hometown version of Christianity!
Yesterday, the Christian Chronicle – the official news service of the Church of Christ – produced a lengthy profile about Ryan.
Although a tad muted, it’s surprisingly fair. Through interviews with Ryan, his critics, and his supporters, it documents the troll’s rise from churchy holy roller to hip and cool history teacher to the right-wing grandstanding self-serving pariah he is today.
Culture warrior, MAGA champion, Church of Christ member: Who is Ryan Walters?
