<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham outlined Sunday how billionaires such as George Soros and Bill Gates are infiltrating Christian churches and driving congregants to embrace progressive politics.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Basham appeared on Fox News to tout her book, “</span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Shepherds-Sale-Evangelical-Leaders-Leftist-ebook/dp/B0CRQGNLMY" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,” in which she “documents how progressive powerbrokers — from George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administration — set out to change the American church. Their goal: to co-opt evangelicals for political purposes.”</span></p>
<p>Basham&#8217;s book, released late last month, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daily-wire-reporter-megan-basham-becomes-instant-nyt-bestseller-with-shepherds-for-sale" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made</a> bestseller lists in The New York Times and USA Today after its release. <span style="font-weight: 400;">The Daily Wire reporter appeared with Fox News host Pete Hegseth over the weekend to discuss her book, the progressive drift of evangelical church ministry, and how church leaders have acquiesced to progressive political priorities on issues such as abortion.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“What we&#8217;re seeing is hard-left, secular foundations that are funded by non Christian billionaires like George Soros, Bill Gates, the Rockefellers, the Clinton Foundation – People who are not Christian, don&#8217;t claim to be Christian – they&#8217;re funneling money into these evangelical front groups,” Basham said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The front groups then push progressive political priorities into Christian churches under the guise of Bible studies and other initiatives.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The groups are activated “to move that all important evangelical voting bloc to the left on policies like climate change regulation, like lax border policies that are creating chaos,” she said. “We&#8217;re talking about conservative churches, conservative ministries, and Christian college campuses to move that vote to the Harris-Walz ticket.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“None of these foundations promote anything that is remotely Christian in ethical or moral understanding. So, these are the same organizations that promote abortion up to birth [and] promote transgender treatments on children,” Basham continued.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The efforts of the progressive billionaires and front groups are having an electoral impact. In the 2020 election, millions of evangelical voters were swung to the Democratic Party amid the progressive push to co-opt Christian churches, according to Basham.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“A lot of Christians sitting in the pews are totally unsuspecting of it,” Basham said of the progressive effort. “And it&#8217;s important to know this because in 2020, a lot of analysts looked at the evangelical vote and they believe that just enough, just a few million were swung in swing states to give the election to Joe Biden.”</span></p>
