Eric Trump and Pennsylvania gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano recently attended a Christian conservative rally, where viewers were urged to restore America’s Christian roots in daily life and institutions.

The tour was organized by ReAwaken America, an organization founded by disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn

Critics have accused ReAwaken America of spreading misinformation and promoting religious extremism.

The event opened with a prayer, asking to “open the eyes of President Trump’s understanding, that he will know the time of divine intervention.”

The prayer continued, “He will know how to implement divine intervention, and you will surround him, Father, with none of this deep-state trash, RINO trash.”

Speakers at the tour in Manheim, Pennsylvania shared messages that align with QAnon and far-right conspiracies, such as alleging that Christianity is under attack, denying Covid-19 and maintaining that the presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump.

One speaker called for the destruction of “demonic satellites” and voting machines.

Among the speakers were Roger Stone, religious self-help author Clay Clark and self-proclaimed “prophet” Julie Green.

One reporter live-tweeted the rally, evoking concern from viewers about the language used by some speakers.

During one speech, a projection showed photos of prominent Democrats including President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, with the text “Angel of Death is coming for them by year-end.”

Speeches at the Manheim rally were rife with “prophecies” about everything from Trump being reelected to Michelle Obama being a biological male.

There was even a dance led by Katie Hopkins, a singalong of “America the Beautiful” and an intense sermon by pastor and conspiracy theorist Greg Locke 

Vendors set up around the event and handed out pamphlets discouraging vaccines and promoting conspiracy theories about 5G radiation. Other conspiracies were espoused throughout the day through speeches, videos, slideshows and t-shirts.

At one point, Eric Trump took the stage to call his father, who told the crowd, “We’re going to bring this country back because our country’s never been in such bad shape as it is now.”
