“Frederick Clarkson, a senior research analyst at Political Research Associates, a progressive think tank in Somerville, Massachusetts, also believes that while there has long been a Christian nationalist political faction operating within the Republican Party, Hawley’s embrace of it shows how it “has become not only acceptable, but fashionable on the political Right.” Clarkson added, “the difference now is that a pol with national ambitions like Hawley thinks openly wearing the label will help his cause.”
