Russell Vought, a co-author of Project 2025, was caught on a secretly recorded video saying that Trump’s denials of any connection with the conservative policy blueprint were politics.

 

He says Trump trying to distance himself from the hyper right-wing Christian nationalist project are just playing politics:

Trump has publicly rejected Project 2025 as Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has sought to tie him to some of the plan's most extreme proposals. But in private, Vought said that those disavowals were merely "graduate-level politics."

 

Vought said his group, the Center for Renewing America, was secretly drafting hundreds of executive orders, regulations, and memos that would lay the groundwork for rapid action on Trump's plans if he wins, describing his work as creating "shadow" agencies. He claimed that Trump has "blessed" his organization and "he's very supportive of what we do."

Vought said he was unfazed by Trump's repeated denials of any connection with Project 2025, dismissing such public statements as politics.

 

"I see what he's doing is just very, very conscious distancing himself from a brand," Vought said. "It's interesting, he's in fact not even opposing himself to a particular policy."

 

Religious liberty? Only Christian liberty:

In the conservative movement, "we've been too focused on religious liberty, which we all support, but we've lacked the ability to argue we are a Christian nation," Vought argued – an idea he's also talked about publicly. "Our laws are built on the Judeo-Christian worldview value system."

 

He said that conservatives should push to have debates over whether to allow mosques to be built in America's downtowns, and whether Christian immigrants should be prioritized over those of other faiths – ideas that run contrary to First Amendment protections.

 

"I want to make sure that we can say we are a Christian nation," Vought added later. "And my viewpoint is mostly that I would probably be Christian nation-ism. That's pretty close to Christian nationalism because I also believe in nationalism."

 

Abortion/banning porn are top ticket for this guy:

Vought argued that it was important to pursue some of the culturally conservative policy goals listed in the Project 2025 blueprint – including abortion restrictions and making pornography illegal – while taking into account political realities.
