Lauren Witzke is a former U.S. Senate candidate in Delaware and now spokeswoman for Hold The Line PAC. A survivor of the opioid epidemic, Witzke’s an outspoken America First advocate and also a catechumen in the Orthodox Church.
I talk with the busy and driven Witzke about her bold ideas, like Restore the Family, and current projects, like Reclaim the Rainbow. We also discuss some hot topics, from Republican charlatanism in the “hallowed halls” of state capitols and DC and the snake-oil salesmen at Turning Point USA, to moving beyond Trumpism, the very real and increasing political persecution of traditionalists and conservatives, and Witzke’s intriguing and inspirational bio. And what could a better time to interview the repentant Christian than June? Not because it’s “pride” month, but precisely because it’s #ChristianityMonth, today and everyday!
Be sure to check out Witzke’s co-hosting of TruNews with Milo Yiannopoulos (the show is already underway and will run for the next week and a half), as well as a few of my own “kindred spirit” essays that are quite pertinent to our chat: “Pedophilia is progress,” “Magnify the Theotokos, not Satan,” “The archetype,” “Loyal opposition,” “Identity-less-ness,” and “Twisted tongues.”
