The Turning Point USA Student Action Summit took place in Florida on Saturday. Joe Raedle took this picture. The primary focus of the Republican Party this year should be on Christian nationalism, according to a lawmaker. She said in an interview that she is a Christian and that we should be Christian nationalists. She said the Republican Party should conform to Christianity to make it easier to identify with Christian voters. She said that when Republicans learn to represent most of the people that vote for them, the party will continue to grow. I want to see Republicans actually do their job, no matter how they vote, because I want to represent Americans and most Americans, no matter how they vote.

The establishment clause in the Bill of Rights is seen as a way to keep religion and government separate.

Lauren Boebert, another conservative firebrand, said last month that she was tired of the separation of church and state and advocated for the abolishment of that clause.
