An important aspect of Wheaton’s retraction of its Vought post is that in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, the school hosted a political event with anti-Trump speakers from The After Party, a group whose aim is to “reframe Christian thinking” about politics. This program was financed exclusively by left-wing secular funders, including Bill Kristol’s anti-Trump group, the Defending Democracy Together Institute — which the campaign finance watchdog Open Secrets highlighted as a major source of dark money in the 2020 and 2024 elections. Moreover, Christian authors like @Natasha_Crain have highlighted that The After Party’s content is “in no way non-partisan” and seems intended to “confuse [church] members into believing that there’s a moral equivalence between the political parties.” I asked Wheaton if they held any similar events with political conservatives, and they declined to answer.
