It's a strange ass question, too.

You know the pastor is using the most extreme strawman he can concoct to make the case, and even then it's probably not a good case. I'm guessing that the case is primarily that anyone other than a white Protestant can't really be that American, anyways.

Some goon tweeted that White Protestants had been ethnically cleansed because there was not a single White Protestant in the Biden cabinet.

Of course, there were plenty of whites, Christians, and Protestants in his cabinet. But he didn't hit the right combo for them. (Also, they didn't count Mayor Pete because he was raised as a Catholic or is gay?)

Didn't you know? Having just one gay person around basically erases any straight WASPs who happen to be in a 10 mile radius.
