Michael Barkun, professor emeritus of political science, was interviewed for the Southern Poverty Law Center article "State House candidate in North Carolina claims God is a white supremacist." Barkun notes that Walker’s website contains "statements that are pure [Christian] Identity." “Generally speaking, people in Christian Identity have contempt for existing political institutions," says Barkun. 07/06/18
