Contributing sentiments towards policy:

76% : All right, let's pivot a bit, because Donald Trump picked up the support of Nikki Haley this past week.
74% : So it attaches itself to all these different things, and it especially connotes support for Donald Trump.
61% : So leaders in the New Apostolic Reformation, like Dutch Sheets, who I mentioned, who helped popularize the flag, are strong supporters of Donald Trump.
60% : So there were two other examples of extremism from Trump and his allies this week, Geoff, that we want to highlight.
55% : And I spoke to Matthew Taylor, an expert on Christian nationalism and a Protestant pastor with Institute -- a Protestant scholar - - excuse me -- with the Institute of Islamic Christian and Jewish Studies.
53% : And I think that's some of the beauty of Black Twitter is these sort of real powerful moments like Trayvon Martin, and Black Lives Matter and Black girl magic and coexist alongside of random craziness as this.
52% : Ukraine has been using other non-American weapons to engage in a campaign of striking Russian refineries, factories, et cetera.
52% : The flag has origins dating to the Revolutionary War, but is now associated with Christian nationalism and efforts to overturn President Biden's 2020 election win.
46% : And on his TRUTH Social account, Trump posted a video that referenced a -- quote -- "unified reich" if he's elected in November.
46% : Today, the committee's focus shifted to include public universities, but some of the same tensions and allegations played out during a tense hearing.
44% : To your point about preserving competition in the free market, what do you say to people who might view this as government intervention in the free market?
26% : But this isn't the first time, Geoff, that Trump has echoed Nazi Germany.
20% : And then Trump took to TRUTH Social also this week, claiming that the Justice Department authorized the use of deadly force against him during their search of Mar-a-Lago, claiming that Biden's FBI wanted to assassinate him.
