A spokesperson for the Trump-Vance campaign has clarified that GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance does not have a personal relationship with Lance Wallnau, despite appearing at a town hall event hosted by the self-proclaimed Christian nationalist over the weekend. The event, which took place on Saturday, featured Wallnau as a speaker before Vance took the stage.
According to Vance's spokesperson, Luke Schroeder, the Ohio senator has never actually met Wallnau. This statement comes in response to a press release issued by the Trump-Vance campaign earlier in the week, which announced Vance as a 'featured guest' at a town hall organized by 'The Lance Wallnau Show'.
Lance Wallnau, known for his self-proclaimed Christian nationalist views and his support for former President Donald Trump, has made headlines for his controversial remarks. Recently, Wallnau referred to Vice President Kamala Harris' debate performance as 'witchcraft' and suggested that a 'cult spirit' was influencing her actions.
Furthermore, Wallnau has a history of making statements in defense of the January 6 insurrectionists and the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group. These comments have drawn criticism and raised concerns about the influence of individuals like Wallnau within certain political circles.
