GOP congressman displays Christian nationalist flag outside his congressional office

[Scott]

 

U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman has a Christian nationalist flag connected to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol displayed outside his congressional office.

 

On Friday morning, Grothman posted a picture of the flag — which shows an image of a pine tree and the phrase “An Appeal to Heaven” on a white background — to his Twitter account with a message inviting people to visit him in the Longworth House Office Building.

 

“With the 118th Congress underway, the People’s House has finally reopened to visitors,” Grothman wrote. “If you’re in Washington DC, I encourage you to stop by my office and say hello!”

Par for the course for GOP Christian nationalists. I love the comments on his tweet.

 

"Love your #StairwayToHeaven flag! Who knew Glennie was a HUGE fan of Led Zeppelin? Let me guess. Immigrant Song is your favorite?

Unless there is a rule that doesn't allow it, it's none of anyone else's business.

Just the usual attack on the GOP.

He's an elected congressman and in the US that makes him everyone's business.

What don't you understand about the fact that he's a public official?

Seems like a flag with a long and storied history, dating back to the American Revolution. It was used as a naval flag by frigates commissioned by George Washington.  

 

If you took the stance that every flag flown in a riot or disturbance was taboo, there wouldnt be too many flags left to fly.

Another false equivalence.

It doesn't hurt to point out where his sympathies lie. Certainly not with any minorities. Christian nationalist groups are not for minorities. They are closely associated with racism.

The idea has been around for a long time and was well articulated by John Locke in 1775.

Locke's writings inspired the language of rebellion in the soon to be United States.

And American fascism, xenophobia, and isolationism.

[Jingthing]

So the people in his district that don't identify as Christian nationalists he does not represent?

This is a scene edited out of the Book of Genesis.

Nice shot of Abe Lincoln doing his Al Jolson impression.

I am always amused by the way some of these people say things like "this is what the founding fathers would want" without a trace of mirth.

What is the obsession with flags in the USA?

[Pattaya Spotter]

Maybe it is the choice of flag...ANTIFA, BLM, Palestinian nationalist, or Cuban flags would probably be okay.

In UK it's the Crown.

In the US it's the flag.

Or do you mean stuff like this?

My own personal take is anyone who wears their patriotism on their sleeve has something else up that sleeve.

Nonsense.

So is old sleepy Joe but that does not prevent him from projection the gay flag on the White House.

Is the gay flag a symbol of intolerance or racism like the confederate flag or the Christian nationalist pine tree flag?

[Keep Right]

Biden allows US Embassy to fly gay flags and promote ideology.

Being gay is not a religion and it is not an ideology.  It does not exclude anyone.

I don't remember seeing any of those flags during the invasion of the Capitol, so how are they "connected" to the attack?

I read the article, but the mention doesn't convince me of that.

That only means you didn't watch any of the videos or read any of the articles which showed plenty of them.
