A top official at the U.S. Department of Education has been keeping a controversial flag linked to Christian nationalism and the Jan. 6 insurrection hung outside his office, according to the agency’s union and a department employee who has observed it.
It’s the latest in a series of instances in which the flag – which depicts a pine tree and the words “An Appeal to Heaven” – has been associated with agencies and figures at the highest levels of the federal government.
Though long tied to the American Revolution, the banner in more recent years “has been adopted primarily by evangelical Christian nationalist groups,” as well as the Proud Boys and certain neo-Nazi groups, according to the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, an independent nonprofit organization. It was flown in 2021 by rioters at the U.S. Capitol as they tried to prevent Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election results.
Linda McMahon’s husband has spent decades abusing pro-wrestlers, denying them healthcare, leading to many early deaths.
He has multiple credible rape allegations including one where he gangraped a woman with his friend, and proceeded to literally shit on her while she was being raped.
Linda McMahon is well aware of all of this, and yet is still married to her husband and supports him fully.
And this is who the MAGA crowd champions as their head of education.
And I didn’t even mention she has absolutely zero qualifications for the role whatsoever.
