Finn, ever the conspiracy theorists, saw the push to end religious exemptions as part of a “<i>scheme</i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">” to benefit the pharmaceutical industry, and complained that </span></span>opponents of such exemptions have embraced the “<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Herd_immunity"><i>herd immunity</i></a>” premise that outbreaks can be prevented from occurring if at least some 97 percent of the population has been vaccinated. “<i>They want to eliminate exemptions to achieve herd immunity but herd immunity doesn’t exist [<a href="https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/52/7/911/299077">yes, it most certainly does</a></i><i>]</i>,” claimed Finn because <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Argument_by_assertion">just asserting it</a> can make a <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/immunization/basics/index.html">perfectly false claim</a> true. Moreoever, “<i>vaccines can actually spread measles and that is probably [<a href="https://vaxopedia.org/2019/01/27/is-a-vaccine-strain-causing-the-latest-measles-outbreak/">most certainly not</a></i><i>] what is happening</i>.” As a lawyer, her lack of understanding of the role and function of <i>evidence</i> is sort of striking. <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">When the city did impose more stringent vaccination requirements, Finn, who is apparently also affiliated with <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr.">Robert Kennedy jr.</a>’s anti-vaccine organization <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Health_Defense">The Children’s Health Defense</a>, was part of a team, together with <a href="http://americanloons.blogspot.com/2013/12/847-robert-j-krakow.html">Robert Krakow</a> and Kennedy, representing five parents of unvaccinated children protesting the requirements; they lost, and in his ruling on the case, Judge Lawrence Knipel <a href="https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2019/04/19/measles-outbreak-brooklyn-judge-dismisses-anti-vaxxer-lawsuit-against-the-city/">correctly pointed out that</a> the arguments presented by the plaintiffs amounted to little more than “unsupported, bald faced opinion”. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Diagnosis: Yes, even anti-vaccine activists deserve legal representation and has the right to challenge vaccine-related laws, and it is, of course, entirely legitimate for Finn to represent them.

In 2016, <a href="https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/rep-mark-finchem-oathkeepers-charlottesville-deep-state-conspiracy-11249452">Finchem introduced legislation that</a> would prohibit Arizona from implementing presidential executive orders, directives issued by federal agencies, and U.S. Supreme Court rulings, and in 2019 <a href="https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/arizona-lawmaker-teacher-code-ethics-david-horowitz-freedom-center-11088078">he introduced a bill</a> that would implement a code for ethics for teachers that was largely copy-pasted from a text published by the <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/David_Horowitz">David Horowitz Freedom Center</a>.

Already in 2013, <a href="https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/rep-mark-finchem-oathkeepers-charlottesville-deep-state-conspiracy-11249452">Finchem asserted that</a> then-president Obama was seeking to establish a “<i>totalitarian dictatorship</i>”, and he maintained a <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/16/politics/kfile-mark-finchem-treason-watch-list-pinterest/index.html">“<i>Treason Watch List</i>”</a> with photos of prominent Democrats on his Pinterest account. He also posted about stockpiling ammunition since it could allegedly come in handy against people he imagined were out to get him. Particularly relevant, perhaps, is his promotion of variants of the <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/The_Great_Replacement">Great Replacement</a> conspiracy theory. And in 2017, Finchem tested his 2020-allegations by <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/01/us/politics/mark-finchem-arizona-elections.html">baselessly describing</a> the <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Unite_the_Right">Unite the Right</a> rally as a “<i>deep state <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Alt-right_glossary#PSYOP">psyop</a></i>” carried out by Democrats. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">And of course Finchem pushed <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/COVID-19_denialism">Covid-related conspiracy theories</a>. For years, his social media posts were to a large extent devoted to a barrage of <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/16/politics/trump-mark-finchem-arizona-secetary-state-kfile/index.html">dangerous misinformation and deranged conspiracy theories</a> surrounding the virus and efforts to halt the pandemic; indeed, even as late as August 2021, Finchem suggested that Covid didn’t even exist at all, citing social media posts from conspiracy theory sites that falsely claimed that Alberta, Canada, had lifted its Covid protocols – a claim that would certainly come as a surprise to residents of Alberta (or visitors, such as yours truly in December 2021) – because “<i>they can’t produce an isolated sample of SARS-CoV-2 to prove covid exists to back their mandates</i>”. And his conspiracy mongering naturally extended to the vaccine; Finchem, based on things he had read on fake news sites and social media sites and against all reason and evidence, deemed the vaccine a “<i>crime against humanity</i>” and implied that it was a “<i>bio-weapon</i>”. He also linked to (and emphasized that he was <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Just_asking_questions">JAQing off</a>) a website promoting the laughably idiotic (but nevertheless <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-video-anomalies/fact-check-video-does-not-prove-covid-19-vaccines-cause-blood-anomalies-idUSL1N2PX1T6/">thoroughly debunked</a>) claim that “<i>the life expectancy of all who have taken the [vaccine] is only 2 years</i>,” apparently because the vaccine ostensibly alters human blood cells in some not-entirely-coherently-explained manner. Later, in July 2021, he stated that he refuses to take the vaccine because he falsely believes it is a “<i>potentially deadly gene therapy</i>.” We doubt that Finchem knows enough about anything to be able to reliably distinguish gene therapies from a lasso made of bananas, but no: <a href="https://vaxopedia.org/2021/02/07/the-covid-19-vaccines-as-gene-therapy/">the Covid vaccine is not a gene therapy</a>. And of course he promoted – <a href="https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/hydroxychloroquine-does-not-benefit-adults-hospitalized-covid-19">contrary to all evidence</a> – the use of <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic#Chloroquine.2Fhydroxychloroquine">hydroxychloroquine</a> as a “<i>beneficial medication</i>”.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">Most of all, however, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/01/us/politics/mark-finchem-arizona-elections.html">Finchem has been a major proponent</a> of <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/QAnon">QAnon</a> conspiracy theories and has shared numerous debunked QAnon-themed memes (e.g. <a href="https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/feb/10/facebook-posts/no-evidence-support-paul-walker-clinton-conspiracy/">this one</a>) and fake news stories. And QAnon conspiracies were a central theme of his 2022 secretary of state campaign, where Finchem e.g. attended the “<i>Patriot Double Down</i>” QAnon conference in Las Vegas promoting <a href="https://azmirror.com/2022/09/15/mark-finchem-criticized-for-using-antisemitic-trope/">debunked conspiracy theoriesand antisemittism</a>, with himself repeating <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/QAnon#Christianity.2C_pedophilia.2C_sex_trafficking.2C_and_Hollywood">standard QAnon nonsense</a> along the lines of “<i>We’ve got a serious problem in this nation.

The reason, of course, was that his campaign had added a noindex tag to the metatag of the sites HTML code, but Finchem i) is a conspiracy theorist to the core and ii) does not understand how anything works, so the outcome was completely predictable.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">As for his over-the-top paranoia, a good example could be his response to a fundraiser for <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Josh_Hawley">Josh Hawley</a> being cancelled by Loews Hotels in 2021: Finchem promptly compared it to the Holocaust, <a href="https://www.kold.com/2021/01/18/az-rep-finchem-faces-backlash-after-holocaust-comparison-tweet/">claiming that</a> “<i>[t]his is what Hitler and Stalin did. What's next Camps? Ovens?</i>” It is not remotely what Hitler and Stalin did. Similarly, social media deplatforming is exactly like Nazi Germany, Pol Pot, and Mao’s cultural revolution rolled into one, with Finchem <a href="https://www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch/post/right-wing-bonus-tracks-joe-biden-will-never-be-president">adding that</a> “<i>the next step is eliminating people</i>”. We would normally implore his voters to think very seriously about what Finchem thinks natural nexts steps are and what that suggests about how he himself would inclined to run things, but we fear, of course, that they already have. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">Diagnosis: Certainly one of the stupidest and craziest people in the Arizona state legislature, and the competition is fierce.

There is, of course, no evidence that the technique has any effect against any of those conditions, nor any plausible reason to think that it should. For promoters of oil pulling, however, the vague idea of benefit is usually centered around a vague idea of never-specified <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Toxin"><i>toxins</i></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i> </i>that are assumed (unsupported by any minimally reliable measurement of any toxin level) <a href="https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/detox-what-they-dont-want-you-to-know-2/">to be detoxed</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> by some never-specified mechanism. For Fife, it is basically a religious creed, with oil-pulling taking on the role of some sort of purification ritual; according to Fife “<i>All disease starts in the mouth!</i>”, which means that Fife is a follower of the absolutely deranged New Age religion and thoroughly dangerous cult of <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Weston_Price">Weston Price</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Weston_Price">.</a> Indeed, Fife is apparently deeply affiliated with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weston_A._Price_Foundation">Weston A.

for instance, according to Feuerstein, since his 2001 Toyota Minivan is “<i>perfectly designed</i>” and not the product of evolution, biological organisms must be created as well. We leave it to readers to identify potential weaknesses in the argument. <p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Feuerstein is probably most familiar for his general wingnuttery, however, and in particular for his calls to violence in support of bigotry (“<i>in order to be peaceful, you must first be capable of extreme violence. <a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/right-wing-bonus-tracks-youre-just-weak/">Otherwise, you’re just weak</a></i>” is one of his nuggets of alleged wisdom; just think about it). As an <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/facebook-hits-back-conservative-christians-182256455.html">anti-gay activist</a>, Feuerstein for instance responded to the legalization of same-sex marriage by taking out a gun and <a href="https://www.advocate.com/religion/2015/07/16/pastor-encourages-christians-fight-same-sex-marriage-ruling-guns">asserting that</a>Christians should consider using their “<i>Second Amendment right</i>” to stop the government from forcing them to recognize marriage equality – as Feuerstein erroneously sees it, marriage equality is “<i>not about equal rights</i>” but “<i>about reconstitutionalizing a term so that now it opens up the door for the left and the liberals to come after Christianity</i>”. It really isn’t. (He also seems to interpret the Second Amendment as an <a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/right-wing-bonus-tracks-embrace-what-you-are/">unalienable right to <i>shoot people whose politics he doesn’t fancy</i></a>.) Similarly, <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015/12/01/candidates-deny-their-‘baby-parts’-attacks-planned-parenthood-helped-fuel-colorado-shooting">he has called for</a> his followers to “<i>punish Planned Parenthood</i>” and “<i>make abortion doctors fear for their life</i>”, <a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/at-american-priority-conference-speakers-sowed-distrust-peddled-conspiracy-theories-and-called-for-civil-war/">called for civil war</a>, and of course, in response to Trump’s 2024 conviction, <a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/maga-martyrdom-machine-portrays-felon-trump-as-victim-vows-revenge/">rhetorically asked</a> “<i>at what point do we take up arms?</i>”</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Weighing in on transgender issues, Feuerstein <a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/right-wing-bonus-tracks-the-criminalization-of-gods-government/">has a piece of advice to concerned parents</a>: Feuerstein doesn’t know “<i>one child that was spanked … that turned out transgender</i>.”</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">And he has predictably recruited himself as a foot soldier in the imaginary <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/War_on_Christmas">War on Christmas</a>.

In particular, Feucht has been pivotal in the efforts to <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/New_Apostolic_Reformation#Donald_Trump.2C_God-Emperor">integrate MAGA-style wingnuttery and Trump sycophancy with dominionist fundamentalism</a>. At one point (2020), Feucht tried to run for Congress himself in California’s third congressional district, on a campaign largely focused on “<i>the slaughter of the unborn and the newborn</i>”, but fortunately failed – apparently <a href="https://anewscafe.com/2023/01/04/redding/sean-feucht-superspreader-film-pushes-misinformation-spotlights-redding-and-bethel-church/">the loss left him</a> shocked and “<i>seething with rage and anger and hurt</i>” until God spoke to him and told him to get ready for new challenges.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">COVID Protests</span></b><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">Those challenges would apparently soon materialize, and Feucht’s rise to fame in the wingnut circus really took off with his “<i>Let us worship</i>“ worship concerts in 2020, which protested and demonstratively violated lockdowns and COVID-related regulations and which drew crowds of thousands to protest various restrictions on people gathering (it is worth noting that Feucht and the Bethel Church <a href="https://anewscafe.com/2021/02/19/redding/bethel-church-embraces-socialism-rakes-in-1-7-million-in-covid-funding/">simultaneously accepted</a> the Paycheck Protection Program and other loans offered by the federal government to keep businesses alive during the pandemic). The concerts were promptly expanded to form a sort of response to Black Lives Matters protests – the groups who came for the Covid-lockdown protests apparently didn’t mind – targeting cities where such protests were being held; Feucht called his concert series “<i>a new Jesus movement</i>”. (In fairness, it should be noted that Feucht had earlier arranged a worship concert at the site of the murder of George Floyd where he referred to Floyd’s murder as an “<i>injustice</i>”). Donald Trump himself signed one of Feucht’s guitars prior to a “<i>Let Us Worship</i>” even at the National Mall in DC, which was apparently attended by some 35,000 people. The tour was sponsored by Feucht’s own Bethel Church, whose leader Bill Johnson is on record as a hardcore anti-vaccine activist who refers to the COVID-19 vaccine as the “<a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast"><i>mark of the beast</i></a>”. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">The concert series was the centerpiece of the ‘documentary’ <i>Superspreader</i> (“<i>[d]uring the COVID-19 lockdowns, an evangelical Christian singer stands up for religious liberties by holding mass outdoor worship concert</i>”), an <a href="https://anewscafe.com/2023/01/04/redding/sean-feucht-superspreader-film-pushes-misinformation-spotlights-redding-and-bethel-church/">insane conspiracy flick trying to argue that</a> measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 “were part of a communist plan to take over the country”. The movie is notorious also for how it tries to portray Feucht as a <i>victim</i> – despite making millions off his tours – e.g. by including amateur footage of violence completely unconnected to Feucht or his tour; and when Feucht innocently says that he did not expect the “<i>level of demonic activity</i>” he confronted at an event Portland, which <i>did</i> involve violence, he conveniently neglects to mention that the violence was carried out primarily by his own paramilitary bodyguard. The movie was produced by Michael Mauldin and his company Mauldin Media – Michael being the husband of Meredith Mauldin, a.k.a. Meredith McKoy, a B-movie actress and Christian singer who performed with Feucht at his “<i>Let Us Worship</i>” events.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6ANtoDCCnqSBfnmNDnLcexWw2CNtQlLlkhKWDgwr6qrZYCcmOlj0loDOt2Ou7Jn7ea-6fG4j4jPYHIaQisOMpFANc8r3YncxIGk4W5PM0V0EM0sDm1iBZfbM03Jan5qaC3N8dBlfOxVC3ijn36eqB4UNUvoYRTXcccGjRBnaz5JOz6co5uB-zFEW_VHU/s957/religiousfreedomandicecream%20(1)%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="581" data-original-width="957" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6ANtoDCCnqSBfnmNDnLcexWw2CNtQlLlkhKWDgwr6qrZYCcmOlj0loDOt2Ou7Jn7ea-6fG4j4jPYHIaQisOMpFANc8r3YncxIGk4W5PM0V0EM0sDm1iBZfbM03Jan5qaC3N8dBlfOxVC3ijn36eqB4UNUvoYRTXcccGjRBnaz5JOz6co5uB-zFEW_VHU/s320/religiousfreedomandicecream%20(1)%20copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Source: Don't remember</span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>The self-portrayal as a victim is of course, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_persecution_complex">as it is for most fundies</a>, part and parcel of his identity: Sean Feucht is persecuted, as demonstrated by the fact that Congress sometimes passes legislation he disagrees with. Legislation protecting the rights of LGBTQ people for instance, is persecution of him now and <a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/old-habits-are-hard-to-break-anti-equality-leaders-dishonest-and-alarmist-attacks-on-the-respect-for-marriage-act/">will lead to even worse persecution</a> of him and Christians like himself in the future, insofar as they will have to live with legislation they disagree with and cannot force people who disagree with them (him) to act the way they (he) want them to act. Of course, he has also claimed that Christians are on the verge of being imprisoned for their beliefs, citing as his primary evidence various dreams he has (or <a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/sean-feucht-cant-take-the-dnc-calls-for-jehus-and-madmen-for-jesus-to-rise-up/">claims to have</a>) had.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">Other Antics</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">After graduating from <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Oral_Roberts#Oral_Roberts_University">Oral Roberts University</a>, Feucht founded a number of organizations, including, in 2010, Light a Candle, an ‘international outreach movement’ supposedly doing missionary work around the globe while charging volunteers thousands of dollars in fees to participate; and Hold the Line, a movement intended “<i>to inform, educate, and inspire</i>” young people to become politically active and oppose “<i>the progressive agenda being forced upon America</i>” (as <a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/right-wing-bonus-tracks-thanks-for-the-slavery/">he puts it</a>, Christians must “<i>step out and confront the demonic schemes being pushed through the schools, the media and the government. We can confront the devil and the Left</i>”). Currently, his main operation is Sean Feucht Ministries, Inc., <a href="https://anewscafe.com/2021/12/31/redding/the-continuing-story-of-sean-feucht-evangelical-with-ties-to-bethel-church-speaks-at-turning-point-usa-americafest-moves-to-orange-county-continues-raking-in-the-bucks/">a nonprofit tax-exempt cash cow</a>). In 2019, Feucht was part of the group of fundies visiting then-President Trump for a faith briefing at the White House with the goal of praying Trump out of troubles related to the first impeachment attempt in 2019: “<i>We just laid our hands on him and prayed for him. It was like a real intense, hardcore prayer</i>”, Feucht reported. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">In April 2022, Feucht called for the “<i>walls of perversion to come down in Jesus’s name</i>” at a protest outside of “<i>demonic</i>” Disney’s California corporate offices. And Feucht sees the devil in most things he doesn’t fancy. For instance, <a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/sean-feucht-tells-followers-biden-administration-is-pushing-an-anti-christ-agenda/">Feucht unsurprisingly thinks</a> Biden is advancing a satanic agenda; with Biden, “<i>[t]he enemy is launching an all out attack on truth, attacking the Bible, and God’s sacred design for the family, sexuality and gender</i>” and the Biden administration is, as political opponents of wingnuts always do, “<i>carrying some of the most anti-Christ agenda and philosophy that maybe we have seen in the history of America</i>” (<a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/religious-right-turns-holy-week-into-festival-of-lies-false-persecution-propaganda/">here</a> is, apparently, more evidence). And as with fundies in general, it is hard to figure out precisely why it matters or is a bad thing, for <a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/right-wing-bonus-tracks-tough/">as Feucht sees it</a>, “<i>we are living in <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/End_times">the last days</a></i>”: “<i>These are the end times … we’re living in the midst of it</i>.”</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">During the 2022 congressional elections, Feucht performed at campaign rallies in support of <a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/people/kari-lake/">Kari Lake</a> and <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Doug_Mastriano">Doug Mastriano</a>. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">In early 2023, Feucht launched <a href="https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/mike-huckabee-and-other-right-wing-leaders-escalate-threats-of-electoral-violence/">his ‘Kingdom to the Capitol’ tour</a></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">, co-sponsored by <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Charlie_Kirk#Charlie_and_the_Bullshit_Factory:_Turning_Point_USA">Turning Point USA</a></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">, which would focus on swing states to educate people e.g. about how the LGBTQ movement is driven by demonic forces (<a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/170027/rise-spirit-warriors-christian-right-politics">“<i>schemes of the devil in the political realm</i>”</a></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">); a similar theme characterized his contributions to <a href="http://americanloons.blogspot.com/2023/08/2675-clay-clark.html">Clay Clark</a></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;"> and <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Michael_Flynn">Michael Flynn’</a>s</span><span style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;"> <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Michael_Flynn#ReAwaken_America_Tour">ReAwaken America</a></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;"> tour.

But despite having become immensely influential and despite milking millions and millions off his audiences, Feucht has no problem viewing himself as a poor victim of religious persecution on the grounds that there are still people who disagree with him and even dare to criticize his views.
