John Darkow\'s cartoon captures a smug, arrogant figure resembling Josh Hawley, raising a cross and shouting \'I\'m a Christian Nationalist!\' Jesus, depicted centrally with long hair and beard, responds with a plea to the Heavenly Father about loving all children but adding \'C\'mon!\' in exasperation. Flanked by robed figures, one wearing a \'J. Crew\' shirt, the scene drips with dry humor targeting pious opportunists. Tags like Christian Nationalist, smug, arrogant, pious, opportunist, and Jesus underscore the satire on blending faith with nationalism. The composition keeps it straightforward, no hidden layers, just visible frustration from the holy group toward the suited declarer.
