Did not realize – but am not surprised – that Vought is a Wheaton grad.

As a chief architect of Project 2025, Russell Vought has risen into the national spotlight for co-authoring the controversial conservative blueprint designed to radically overhaul the federal government under the next Republican president.

But years ago, the Wheaton College graduate made headlines for another written work — one that included strong words against Muslims used in defense of the actions of his alma mater.

The west suburban evangelical Christian college in 2015 suspended its first tenured Black female faculty member after she announced plans to wear a hijab in solidarity with Muslims facing persecution, while stating that Christians and Muslims “worship the same God.” Some evangelical leaders criticized her for not explaining what makes Islam distinct from Christianity.

Vought’s rebuke went even further.

“Muslims do not simply have a deficient theology,” he wrote in an article for the website The Resurgent. “They do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ his Son, and they stand condemned.”
