Canada's Conservatives go all-in for a MAGA preacher who is bringing Christian Nationalism to Canada

 

The Conservative Party seems to be going all-in on defending a Christian Nationalist MAGA preacher who has brought his distorted version of the religion and corny-ass music to Canada.

Sean Feucht is a failed GOP candidate who gained fame for ignoring COVID precautions to hold mass religious gatherings across the United States. He regularly posts anti-LGBTQ, misogynist and generally just…strange…stuff on Twitter.

He’s also previously, according to Rolling Stone, enlisted security volunteers that included at least one charged Jan. 6 defendant and a notorious member of the Proud Boys (a designated terrorist group in Canada).

Now, the Conservative politicians who are vocally defending Sean Feucht claim to be doing so — mostly — in the name of the charter. 

But what’s interesting is that many of them seemed to understand the existence of a “reasonable limits” clause in the Charter when they abused it to try to shut down student protests against the genocide in Gaza.

With the help of Kate Burns, an expert who has covered Feucht extensively, I break down this MAGA preacher panic.
