“You can have either a civilization or blacks — but not both. What must be done is obvious.”
“Jews and blacks are both a problem.”
“It should be illegal for women to work outside the home.”
“Tolerance for the Jews is apostasy before God.”
“Adolf Hitler is in Paradise.”
Thesestatements — and many, many more like them — were posted on X over the past few years by Corey Mahler, a self-identified “Christian nationalist,” who is co-host of the Stone Choir podcast.
Last week, Mahler’s podcast was recommended by Gab CEO Andrew Torba as the “#1 Christian Nationalist podcast in the world” on his new website ChristianNationalist.com. More concerning still was the fact that Torba’s website was immediately praised by Christian nationalist pastors like Joel Webbon and Brian Sauvé, whose ministries were also recommended on the site.
