The 2024 Trump campaign lists Lynn Fleckenstein in its Iowa Faith Leader Coalition, referring to her as a “small group leader”.
What is this small group that Lynn Fleckenstein leads?
Professionally, Fleckenstein is retired from her work as a health care administrator. She retired twelve years ago. She spends much of her time going on vacations to tropical locations where she enjoys going diving on coral reefs.
Online, Fleckenstein spends her time spreading conspiracy theories about how the January 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol somehow never really happened, how the COVID-19 pandemic was somehow planned ahead of time by a secret cabal of government bureaucrats.
Fleckenstein leaves a large footprint online, but there is no evidence anywhere online of her being the leader of any small religious group.
Why is Lynn Fleckenstein listed as a member of Donald Trump’s Iowa Faith Leader Coalition, then?
What is Christian Nationalism all about?
We need to look past the hype and theoretical debates. The new book Donald Trump’s Army Of God: Christian Nationalism in the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition investigates what Christian Nationalism looks like in practice. The authors detail the identities, beliefs, and activities of Donald Trump’s Christian Nationalist network.
Their work reveals the extremism that enabled Trump to seize the Republican nomination in the Iowa caucuses, and is clearing the ground for him to regain the White House in November 2024.
The Iowa Faith Leader Coalition is a radical political organization that violates American law
