“We need to start wearing nametags on who’s the preacher, and who’s the politician,” Welton Gaddy told Rachel on Tuesday night’s “The Rachel Maddow Show.” He was responding to a House of Representatives-endorsed prayer event at the US Capitol, full of far, far-right self-proclaimed Christians who specialize in working to redefine American history to serve their own narrow, exclusionary vision for this nation – and for its future.
