White supremacist church leader is feeling emboldened by Donald Trumps election win but not bold enough to tell reporters where his group worships. Pastor Mark Downey, who operates the white supremacist Kinsman Redeemer Ministries, has written an extremely lengthy open letter to Donald Trump thats circulating on Christian Identity church websites, . Christian Identity adherents believe, contrary to biblical scripture, that Germanic, Celtic, Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon people are Gods Chosen People, and the small but influential religious sect informs nearly all white supremacist and extreme anti-government groups. Downey, however, sees Trumps election as an opportunity to enter the political mainstream. I am an outsider, about as non-partisan as a liaison with Providence and a potential President could be, Downey wrote. Nevertheless, I wouldnt be wasting my time if there was the possibility that you could be the called out one to lead us out of the terrible mess were in. The letter, which was written Oct. 9, suggests that divine destiny will lead Trump to victory, and he called on the Republican to disavow mainstream evangelical Christianity and endorse Christian Identitys extremist ideology. www.rawstory.com/2016/11/white-supremacist-christian-identity-pastor-begs-trump-to-crack-down-on-jews/An intersection of racism and fundamentalism.
