KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Missouri Senator Josh Hawley is catching national attention for comments he made Monday night.

In a clip from the National Conservative Convention, Hawley said he is an advocate for Christian nationalism.

Hawley claimed Christian nationalism is not a threat to American democracy because he said it helped found America’s democracy.
