Progressives’ fear of “white Christian nationalists” is really fear of Christians.
Catholics who oppose abortion apparently are “supercharged Christian national[ists]” who don’t belong on the Supreme Court. So said MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough during a round table discussion with like-minded progressives about House Speaker Mike Johnson’s religious beliefs. “We have to talk about the Supreme Court,” Scarborough said. It’s full of Catholic extremists: “They’re all Catholics. They all have a view of abortion and other issues that have led them to overturn against all public opinion polls, and I would say against pretty good, strong 50-year precedent, to overturn the right to abortion.” Added regular progressive panelist Michael Steele, “It’s the reimagination of judicial constitutional principles in a religious way, and so that’s the connection that draws these individuals to this space.”

It is clear what Scarborough, Steele, and the progressive crowd at MSNBC think of believing, faithful Catholics — they are dangerous extremists who took away a so-called constitutional right that liberals on the Supreme Court discovered in 1973 in Roe v.
