This morning, at the official launch of Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign, the former Republican governor of South Carolina invited preacher John Hagee to deliver the opening invocation. It was a clear and unsurprising indication that Haley intends to embrace Christian Nationalism during her campaign despite suggestions she would be a more moderate Republican who could win over independent voters.

The invocation itself wasn’t newsworthy. Hagee urged Heaven to give Haley “wisdom that is supernatural,” whatever that means, but the speech was mostly forgettable.
