Ok, I think I’ve sussed this out. Christian nationalist grifter Eric Metaxas wrote a pop biography of Bonhoeffer back in 2009. Metaxas routinely exploits Bonhoeffer’s prestige as a model for Christian resistance to (leftist) tyranny.

Typical rent-seeking. Metaxas wants the government to outlaw Democrats because he is getting exhausted trying to punch each one in the head.

Tony Saurez says that when he and Eric Metaxas left the White House that night, they "were in fear for our lives." Is that why Metaxas sucker punched a protester and then ran away?

Metaxas is a pretty big deal on the evangelical right but the main thing I remember about him is he used to write for VeggieTales and the series creator did a Twitter thread where he wistfully implied they're no longer friends because Metaxas was driven completely insane by Black Lives Matter

MAGA cultist Eric Metaxas was outraged by seeing an air quality alert triggered by the Canadian wildfires that suggested people limit outdoor activity: "How dare they say that. Who has the right to tell me or you or anyone anything? It's a free country. I can do whatever I want."

Eric Metaxas is in the Epstein Files, but only because Epstein’s dear friend Ken Starr recommended one of his books to Epstein.
So it’s not damning that Metaxas is in the Epstein Files, but it’s incredibly damning that Metaxas is in the Ken Starr Files.
