Megan Basham Beats up David French, Russell Moore on Tucker Carlson Show

Tucker Carlson continues to host a series of prominent Christian guests on his show, including Doug Wilson earlier this week. In a new segment, Carlson had on author and journalist Megan Basham, discussing the recent anti-Chrstian Nationalist flick ‘God & Country’ that bombed at the box office and featured the who’s who of bad faith liberals, including Jemar Tisby, David French, Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Phil Vischer, Skye Jethani, Russell Moore, and these two raging pagan below.

In the segment, the two discuss the influence of these two men and the shenanigans they’re up to. Relating specifically to the film, Basham breaks it down:

They are calling evangelicals, particularly evangelicals who engage in the political process, a “threat to democracy.” And I think that’s the important thing to know. (Evangelicsals) are 32% of the American electorate. The Atlantic quite rightly called them in 2021 America’s most powerful voting block, so they’re right about that; they are essentially the only obstacle that we still have to the leftwing agenda. If you remove them you removed all the brakes.”

There’s been a very deliberate effort, and this film is part of it, but it is just a drop in the bucket to be quite frank of an entire cottage industry that is saying if these people, these evangelicals continue to engage in the public process, to try to influence their neighbors through their vote, through free association, through using their free speech by ‘get out the vote’ efforts -anything like that- that’s dangerous and scary and that’s very much what you saw with this film.

I mean, it is over the top I’m not going to do it the justice of pretending like it presents anything like a coherent intellectual argument, it doesn’t…

Basham continues:

I mean there’s been an entire cottage industry of books from staff writers at the Atlantic, from Russell Moore, who is in this film himself claiming to speak for the sober-minded, non-politically idolatrous Christians which, you know, that in itself, given how political someone like Russell Moore who is the editor of Christianity Today himself is, is hugely ironic….Russell Moore is absolutely a political actor in a much more deliberate and well-funded way than any of the people that this movie is criticizing.

Carlson offers that, from his prescient perspective, Moore is “paid to subvert American traditional Christianity on behalf of the Democratic party.” Hearing this, Basham takes that balls and runs with it. Have a watch:
