The Christian Party was an American fascist political party which was founded by William Dudley Pelley in 1935.[1] He chose 16 August 1935 as the Christian Party's founding date, because it was a so-called "pyramid date".[2] The party can be considered the political wing of Pelley's paramilitary organization, the Silver Legion of America. It ran with Pelley as its candidate for the 1936 presidential campaign[3] (Silver Legion member Willard Kemp was the vice presidential candidate). Pelley gained just 1,600 votes in the election.[4] The party quickly vanished after the United States entered World War II.
