Christian nationalist 'ReAwakening' rally, headlined by Michael Flynn, coming to Missouri

A rally headlined by retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and an array of other speakers who tout ideals of Christian nationalism and conspiracy theories is coming to southwest Missouri later this year.

Scheduled to appear at the Freedom Encounter theater in Branson from Nov. 4-5, the event is one of more than a dozen rallies around the country featuring Flynn and his allies as part of what they call "The Great ReAwakening" tour. It is hosted by Clay Clark, an entrepreneur and podcast host based out of South Dakota.

A graphic advertising the event includes the faces of about 50 different people, though it's unclear how many of them will be present and speaking at the Branson event. Among those displayed are Flynn, MyPillow CEO and election conspiracist Mike Lindell, as well as Roger Stone, a onetime Trump confidant who was convicted during the Russia interference investigation and later pardoned by the former president.

A recent investigation by The Associated Press and PBS "Frontline" found that Flynn's public appearances and speeches around the country have channeled themes of Christian nationalism, while attempting to energize local and state Republican officials, far-right extremist groups and conspiracy theorists. The "ReAwakening" rallies have also drawn criticism from prominent Christian leaders, who have warned that the events distort the teachings of the religion in an attempt to harm American democracy, The Guardian reported in June.

All I can say is that the reporter did a good job debunking the crap.
