Elected officials who fly Christian nationalist flags at the Capitol.

https://baptistnews.com/article/a-visual-guide-to-the-elected-officials-who-fly-christian-nationalist-flags-at-the-capitol/

On the walk to the six buildings in which every U.S. senator and House representative offices, CBF’s director of advocacy, Jennifer Hawks, casually mentioned to me that — given my interest in Christian nationalism — I might be interested in seeing the Christian nationalist flags some of these politicos choose to fly alongside the American flag outside their offices.

Of course I was interested.

This is how I ended up spending six hours walking a total of 19 miles through the six office buildings at the Capitol. I walked by every single elected official’s office to document exactly which of them fly these flags.

believed in its founding principles and Constitution, they would only display the US and state flags.
