Christian nationalism is so far removed from Jesus's teachings, but that's the religion Michael Capps, a former Kansas lawmaker who once sponsored a bill to put the words "In God We Trust" in every federal building, stands behind. Christian nationalism intertwines politics with Christianity, and that's funny because Jesus slapped Him around some money changers back in the day. He would have rejected the Republican party because it's teeming with hypocrites.
People like Capps, for example, who has been found guilty of committing COVID relief fraud and money laundering.
OnlySky reports:
His career wasn't supposed to end this way. In 2018, the Republican was appointed to the Kansas State House and won his own election bid later that year. Like other members of his party, he used his time in office to push Christianity on everyone. That's why, in addition to his anti-trans and anti-abortion bills, Capps sponsored a bill to put "In God We Trust" in public buildings, including public schools.
The Witchita Eagle reports:
Michael Capps, a 44-year-old Wichita business owner, was found guilty Wednesday of 12 felony charges for lying on applications for federal COVID-19 relief aid while he was a member of the Kansas House of Representatives. A federal jury announced the decision at 4 p.m. Wednesday after deliberating more than eight hours over multiple days. The FBI began investigating Capps after a 2020 Wichita Eagle investigation found Capps inflated payroll information, revenues and employee numbers to maximize federal awards to three entities under his control — Midwest Business Group, Krivacy and the nonprofit Fourth and Long Foundation.
Enjoy prison, Michael.
