Yesterday I received this letter from Josh Abbotoy, executive director of American Reformer and managing director of New Founding, demanding that I retract and delete a tweet I posted last week re: American Reformer.
Every time I dip into the latest christian nationalist pile on I am reminded that they are basically just jerks.

@williamwolfe@mbird12 A: Nothing wrong with affirming the human nature of Christ.

They need to be coupled with a statement on a particular NYT columnist......
