Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson, a lifelong Episcopalian, said this week he believes the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump is proof positive there is a “spiritual attack underway” in the United States.
“I think what happened on Saturday—the assassination attempt against President Trump—reminded a lot of people, or awakened a lot of people to this: there is a spiritual battle underway,” he said during an event hosted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by the Heritage Foundation.

He continued, “There is no logical way to understand what we’re seeing now in temporal terms; you just can’t. These are not political divides. There are forces—and they’re very obvious now, they’ve decided, for whatever reason, to take off the mask—whose only goal is chaos, violence, destruction.”
Carlson warned he believes the forces coalescing now against Trump are rooted in the same spiritual undercurrents that have animated bygone revolutionary movements.
“What group do they dislike most?” he posited. “What group are they absolutely terrified of and hoping to eliminate? Well, it’s Christians, that’s who it is. It’s Christians.”
And just down the road from Milwaukee’s symphony hall, where Carlson spoke, the Republican National Convention was underway, where speakers echoed similar sentiments, asserting God divinely protected Trump, the GOP’s presidential nominee, from assassination during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
One of those speakers was Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R), a stalwart supporter of Trump. She said from the platform that “not even as assassin’s bullet could stop” the former president.
