Salon Magazine: MAGA Republicans, Christian Nationalism ‘Bigger Threat to America than Hamas’Joshua Klein 2 Nov 20232
Today’s Republicans, as well as Christian nationalism, are a greater threat to the United States than the Hamas terrorist organization, which is responsible for scores of terror attacks including the most recent massacre of over 1,000 civilians — according to a recent Salon piece that is drawing fierce backlash for the “gross” assertion.
Following the deadliest attack on Jewish people since the Nazi Holocaust, Salon magazine published an essay declaring MAGA Republicans and Christian supporters a “bigger threat” to America than the Hamas terrorist perpetrators.
The Thursday essay, titled “MAGA and Christian nationalism: Bigger threat to America than Hamas could ever be,” was penned by columnist Brian Karem, the former senior White House correspondent for Playboy.

Karem suggests that the internal divisions and the radicalization of the Republican Party, personified by figures like newly-installed Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, pose a greater danger to American democracy than external terrorist threats.
“While the world burns, Johnson and the MAGA wing of the Republican Party — which seems to have swallowed the evangelical movement while also embracing it (a T-1000 morphing into Sarah Connor is just about the right image) — is embracing the darkest verses of the Bible, apparently pushing for apocalypse with an enthusiasm only rivaled by Saul’s slaughter of Christians before he changed his name to Paul,” he writes.
The article addresses the broader political context, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s effort at a bipartisan approach to threats posed by AI.
