Wheeler is a CatholicFinal Point: Religion in America… and my Catholic Faith on YouTube and believes that there's a "War on Christianity". Her view arises mostly from situations that seem to "harm" Christian faith, or from people who criticize Christian faith, and she deems these as "attacks".
===It's about religious freedom!===
On July 31, 2018, Wheeler defended Jeff Sessions' new "religious liberty task force" that has stirred controversy within LGBT people, civil rights groups, and others throughout social media pointing out how this is set forth to attack LGBT rights and how it violates constitutional rights of others.Sessions' religious liberty task force panned by civil rights groups, LGBTQ advocates.

Despite this, Wheeler painted the situation as left-wingers "attacking Christians". 
At the beginning of the segment, Wheeler misunderstands the purpose of the person's tweet and allows their joke to go over their head, where the purpose of the tweet was to compare the "religious liberty task force" to the Taliban because both groups are set to push the superiority of their religion. 
Wheeler then continues stating how it's a constitutional right for the freedom of religion. While this is true, some have made it clear that Sessions' goal is not religious freedom due to his affiliation with other Christian, anti-LGBT groups, such as the Alliance Defending Freedom as well as his rhetoric.
In addition, Wheeler seems to be oblivious such a move from Sessions stomps on the
