Cotton Posts Christian Nationalist Flag Outside Office

The Daily Beast reports:

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who is reportedly a top contender for Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick, has jumped on the bandwagon of flying the Christian nationalist “Appeal To Heaven” flag.

While Cotton correctly identified the flag’s Revolutionary War origins, it was more recently co-opted by religious pro-Trump insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol.

The flag Cotton proudly flies was resurrected in recent years by the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), a right-wing Christian sect that advocates that Christians seize control of all facets of U.S. society to create a Christian nation.
