Overview
- Rev. Rob Schenck, writing in Mother Jones, argues the MAGA religious coalition is breaking down and may not recover.
- He points to a run of provocations that offended Christians, including an attack on Pope Leo XIV, a profane Easter post about Iran, a threat against Iranians, and an AI image casting Trump as Christ-like.
- Conservative religious voices rebuked the posts, with pastor Doug Wilson calling the image blasphemy and broadcaster David Brody saying it crossed the line.
- Schenck notes a telling quiet from two of Trump’s most loyal evangelical allies, Robert Jeffress and Paula White-Cain, who have offered no public comment.
- The analysis says voter behavior could shift if the outrage endures, though it remains unclear whether longtime evangelical support will materially erode.
