      "If we don't confront Christian nationalism then we are leaving ourselves open to future attacks, like what we saw on January 6," said one critic.

      In an effort to fill in what they say are critical gaps in the U.S. House select committee's report on the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, faith leaders are pushing the corporate media and the American public to confront the role Christian nationalism played in the insurrection, warning that ignoring the link could make similar violence more likely in the future.

      The committee's report, released last week, laid out extensive evidence showing that former President Donald Trump was the driving force behind the attack aimed at stopping lawmakers from certifying the 2020 presidential election results, but mentioned Christian nationalism just once, despite the fact that many of the Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol openly expressed Christian nationalist beliefs before, during, and after the attack.

      As Trump Issues 'Sharply Self-Incriminating' Subpoena Response, DOJ Urged to Act

      "I think they were trying to hand the Justice Department all the evidence on a silver platter," one legal expert said of the panel probing last year's attack on the U.S. Capitol.

      As former President Donald Trump faced an onslaught of criticism and ridicule over his "rambling" 14-page response Friday to a subpoena from the U.S. House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack, calls for action by the Department of Justice continued to mount.

      The bipartisan panel voted unanimously to subpoena Trump at the end of Thursday's hearing--which was the ninth that the committee has held publicly since June and is expected to be the last before next month's midterm elections.
