Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson, a lifelong Episcopalian, said this week he believes the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump is proof positive there is a “spiritual attack underway” in the United States.
“I think what happened on Saturday — the assassination attempt against President Trump — reminded a lot of people, or awakened a lot of people to this: there is a spiritual battle underway,” he said during an event hosted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by the Heritage Foundation.
He continued, “There is no logical way to understand what we’re seeing now in temporal terms; you just can’t. These are not political divides. There are forces — and they’re very obvious now, they’ve decided, for whatever reason, to take off the mask — whose only goal is chaos, violence, destruction.”
Carlson warned he believes the forces coalescing now against Trump are rooted in the same spiritual undercurrents that have animated bygone revolutionary movements.
“What group do they dislike most?” he posited. “What group are they absolutely terrified of and hoping to eliminate? Well, it’s Christians, that’s who it is. It’s Christians.”
