The attendee who pressed Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood at a tense town hall this weekend was exposed as a former GOP staffer with “Christian nationalist ties,” journalist Marisa Kabas reported.

As first reported by Kabas on her Substack The Handbasket, Tommy was actually Thomas Teepell, who previously served as operations director for Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) until February of this year.

Teepell’s father is Timmy Teepell, a GOP strategist who worked for former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal through his climb from congressman to governor. Jindal is the founder of America Next, a conservative PAC that, according to The Michigan Daily, offered Republican college students $200 to travel to an El-Sayed event to “heckle” the Democratic candidate and ask provocative questions.

    it’s petty clear to me that ALL of Christianity is a sect of Judaism

    Yes, that’s how Christianity happened. A bunch of Jews believed that when Jesus claimed he was a son of God, that he was telling the truth, and his crucifixion and subsequent resurrection rather solidified that belief.

    But not all Jews agreed, so those who did believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ became known as “Christians“ over the next couple of centuries.

    So, yes, Christianity can be viewed as a particularly peculiar sect of Judaism
