What kind of Christian leader wants people to be terrified?
The Trump 2024 campaign lists Sheila Ragar as a member of the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition in the capacity as a church deaconess.
There is no record anywhere online of Sheila Ragar doing anything as a deaconess. Ragar doesn’t mention any church membership or activity on her social media accounts.
Ragar has promoted a threatening QAnon conspiracy theory on her Facebook account, however. Ragar promoted a meme showing Donald Trump with a collection of lions, and a warning reading: “The Storm is coming, and they are terrified”.
Among QAnon conspiracy theorists, The Storm is a predicted event in which people supporting Donald Trump would rise up in rebellion against the US government, executing or placing in prison any government officials who showed disloyalty to Trump.
Sheila Ragar works as a code enforcement officer for the city of Sioux City, Iowa. In that capacity, Ragar ordered the flower garden of a master gardener to be destroyed, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in damage.
Sheila Ragar appears to be married to Carl Ragar, a Sioux City police officer who is listed in Donald Trump’s Iowa Faith Leader Coalition as a deacon.
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.
