"James Talarico’s campaign for the Senate is breaking the tiny brains of the members of America’s evangelical for-profit ministry.

Their starting point: women are trying to undermine evangelical churches, because women are (fill in the blank: wicked is the starting word). Also key to the starting point: evangelical churches are always right and holy and never make mistakes and anyone calling on them to admit or apologize for mistakes is doing the devil's work.
