Regardless of your political or religious beliefs, it is plain to see a vote for a Republican of any sort will only lead you to lunacy such as this. Part of the lunacy is his crackpot-two-bit preacher really believes he can manipulate your vote by instilling fear into you – fear of nonexistent threats – and you are dumb enough to believe him. Notice, he doesn’t mention the fear so many American voters experience when they spend sleepless nights worrying whether, or not, they can put food on the table or gas in the car -- Whether their family healthcare premiums will go out of sight when the Republicans promise they are going to rescind tax credits for those premiums -- Doesn’t mention Republican attacks on Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security they are likewise against – Doesn’t mention the cut in food stamps, SNAP benefits for hungry children and seniors – Doesn’t mention the Republican s slashed veteran’s benefits, unemployment insurance, their attacks on Unions – Doesn’t mention the cost of housing is putting Americans out on the street, and perhaps the most egregious fear of all is knowing there is no chance of ever putting your kids through college while Republicans remain in charge, No, this red-eyed bigot, this panderer and apologist for tyranny, this blasphemer who would use Jesus’ name and philosophy to continue the evil being perpetrated against his people, will lie though his congregation’s store-bought teeth and keep enriching himself by invoking God’s name. This man is no prophet; he is the DEMON who will lead other bigots like him straight into the jaws of HELL. See this – Boldface mine: MAGA pastor bizarrely claims uncircumcised people are trying to steal the US Story by Daniel Villarreal • 17h • 2 min read MAGA pastor and self-proclaimed “prophet” Hank Kunneman of One Voice Ministries recently said that uncircumcised people are trying to steal the nation. His comment was part of a bizarre transphobic and Islamophobic statement on the midterm elections. “I am not going to let uncircumcised, uncovenanted people try to steal this nation that was dedicated to Jesus Christ, the God of my covenant!” Kunneman said in a broadcast recently shared by Right Wing Watch. “That’s why you need to get out at the midterms and you need to vote. Show up in force! Say we’re tired of these people walking into our bathrooms dressed as a woman but you’re a dude!” he continued. “Men, get out of women’s sports, you uncircumcised philistines! Islam, this nation belongs to the God that we’re in covenant with!” While he specifically mentioned Islam, the Bible references uncircumcised individuals several times, sometimes as foreigners who are stubborn, rebellious, or spiritually closed off to God. Republican Christian conservatives nationwide have increasingly demonized Muslims (who are typically uncircumcised) as anti-Christian religious extremists in an attempt to paint themselves as defenders of Christian nationalism. Conservative white Christians have also embraced the Trump administration’s attacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), misunderstanding DEI as an anti-white and anti-Christian part of the “Great Replacement Theory,” which they fear will lead to their invisibility and loss of power by non-Christians, immigrants, and other people of color. In the past, Kunneman has falsely claimed that Jesus used anti-gay slurs, and spread the lie that schools are putting litterboxes in bathrooms because “mentally disturbed, demonically possessed” students are identifying as cats. The claim has been repeatedly refuted by school districts and journalists, but right-wingers continue to repeat it as a way to vilify schools with transgender-inclusive policies.
