Christian singer and conservative activist Sean Feucht clapped back at a state newspaper for warning readers that his Christian ministry was “dangerous.”
Feucht has led worship services in front of state capitol buildings across the country since 2020, encouraging Christians to pray and mobilize in their states to stand up for their beliefs. His “Let Us Worship” movement started in response to the COVID-19 lockdowns that year.

Moderate West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin lashed out at ‘out-of-stater’ Bernie Sanders after the Vermont socialist senator wrote an op-ed in a West Virginia newspaper urging voters to support Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill – as the Democratic infighting over the stalled legislation escalated.
Manchin, 74, and fellow Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona have refused to rubber-stamp Biden’s $3.5 trillion plan because of its exorbitant price tag.
