People can be fairly sure that MSNBC guest Tristan Snell likely has been nowhere near an evangelical Christian church in, well, ever.

It’s because he saw a video for a crowd of conservatives raise their hands during prayer at a rally for Doug Mastriano supporters in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.

And he promptly labeled the action a “Nazi salute.”

He watched, and concluded: “Yes, this is a Nazi salute … Democracy is literally on the ballot in November.”

At Summit News, a report identified him as “a lawyer and recurring guest on MSNBC and CNN.”

And it noted he has “come under fire” for his condemnation.

It’s because evangelicals raising hands during prayer, during worship, during music, and even at rallies, is as run-of-the-mill as cars on a freeway and snow in December in Alaska.

The report explained, “Evangelical leader Lance Wallnau asked the crowd to rise, and asked them ‘if a proclamation can be a spiritual thing,’ before asking them to raise their hands for a prayer rally in support of Mastriano’s run for PA governor.”

He prayed, “Father I pray, that indeed Pennsylvania will be like Little Round Top, and America will have a new birth of liberty.”

The reaction to Snell’s claim was brutal, and even CNN said, “This is just people praying and it doesn’t even resemble a Nazi salute.”

Another commenter pointed out, “That’s Christians praying. It’s quite literally done in thousands of churches around the country every week.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: With what has been called the “Sovietization” of the Biden administration – including the shocking criminalization of dissent and massive weaponization of the FBI against political opponents – America is being increasingly compared to a third-world or communist dictatorship. Yet America still has one sacred institution that dictatorships from Zimbabwe to communist China don’t have: ELECTIONS. And in reality, there is no reason, despite the regime’s all-out efforts at election rigging, that the tens of millions of decent, right-thinking American voters cannot stop the Biden administration’s ever-expanding madness this November. For that reason, the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine insightfully covers the most electrifying and important races, illuminates the biggest issues, reveals how the latest federal takeover of elections actually violates the law, and much more. Looking forward to 2024, the issue also highlights why, to quote the chairman of a major think tank, Donald Trump “is the most towering political figure in living memory” and the person “most fit to lead” today’s America. It’s all in “STOPPING THE MADNESS: A MIDTERM ELECTION GUIDE FOR VOTERS WHO LOVE AMERICA.”
