rightwingwatch--2020-08-28--The Extreme Speakers Making the RNC’s Big Push for the Suburban White Women Vote

The second and third nights of the Republican National Convention featured a number of leading Republican women voicing their adulation for President Donald Trump while painting a dark picture of what the country would look like under the leadership of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden .
The messaging seemed to be directed at the one group Trump is losing support among : suburban white women , who appear to have grown disillusioned by Trump ’ s handling of the coronavirus pandemic , his antics and crassness , his willingness to antagonize , his racism and sexism .
Trump , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ points in 2016 and carried 53 percent of the white women vote , has seen his approval rate drop among women living in suburbs or small cities , with 68 percent now disapproving of Trump ’ s job as president , according to an August NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll .
And the president ’ s approval rating among white women at large is falling as well .
And so the Republican National Convention trotted out women and people of color who support Trump no matter what those damn Democrats say , insisting that Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sexist , he is actually a very nice guy despite what your lying eyes and ears may tell you .
They made the case that Trump , in fact , has hired women and supports criminal justice reform , even dolling out a live pardon on Tuesday night like it was a free car on reality TV .
But the messengers were just as extreme as their president .
The line-up Tuesday began in earnest with anti-choice activist Abby Johnson , a superstar for anti-choice causes whose memoir became a biopic hit among @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Planned Parenthood employee who now works to convert those working in pro-choice circles to her anti-choice beliefs , began by attacking Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger as a eugenicist , arguing that its truly the Democrats with their pro-choice ideals who are racist baby killers .
“ Margaret Sanger was a racist who believed in eugenics .
Her goal when founding Planned Parenthood was to eradicate the minority population , ” Johnson said , claiming that Planned Parenthood clinics today are strategically located in minority neighborhoods .
The argument is one she has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the eugenics movement and birth control movement intersected during the 1920s .
While Sanger did embrace the eugenics movement—popular among both political parties at the time—she did so as a way to expand support for the legalization of birth control .
In fact , Sanger worked with W.E.B .
DuBois , the founder of the NAACP , the major legal organization dedicated to the advancement of Black people , to bring safe contraception to women of color .
Not included in Johnson ’ s speech were her own views on race .
Johnson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ smart ” to racially profile her own adopted biracial son , because “ statistically , my brown son is more likely to commit a violent offense over my white sons , ” as Vice reported ahead of her appearance .
“ So the fact that in his head , he would be more careful around my brown son than my white son , that doesn ’ t actually make me angry .
That makes that police officer smart , because of statistics , ” Johnson said in the since-deleted YouTube video .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ story , a story that has been in dispute since she first told it publicly in 2009 , describing in detail an abortion she says took place the day she quit Planned Parenthood—a procedure that she could not have witnessed because the day on which it supposedly happened , the clinic had no ultrasound abortions at all .
Truth be damned , the graphic tale was directed not only at the evangelical supporters who made up the base of Trump voters in 2016 but at suburban white women uncomfortable with or unsure of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this election is a choice between two radical , anti-life activists and the most pro-life president we have ever had , ” Johnson concluded her speech .
Johnson may have presented herself as palatable to some white suburban moms , but her views are extreme .
Johnson ’ s appearance was promoted by far-right activist Jack Posobeic , who furthered the “ Pizzagate ” conspiracy theory and whom Johnson retweeted in the days ahead of her appearance .
In May , Johnson advocated for household voting in which one person , usually the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the whole household , The 19th reported .
Historically , household voting has barred women and people of color from voting .
And not only is Johnson for taking away a woman ’ s right to vote and her right to choose , she is against birth control , effectively insisting that women must bear children or live as a celibate nun .
Johnson was just the first taste of a Republican women-promoted evening .
A video featuring the women working in Trump ’ s administration set to inspirational tunes shown the spotlight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who defended the Trump administration ’ s policy of separating kids from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border as well as candidate Trump bragging about grabbing women by the “ pussy , ” insisting he always had been “ gracious and a gentleman ” to her .

“ A woman in a leadership role can still seem novel , ” Conway claimed .
“ Not so for President Trump .

Opinion
The second and third nights of the Republican National Convention featured a number of leading Republican women voicing their adulation for President Donald Trump while painting a dark picture of what the country would look like under the leadership of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. The messaging seemed to be directed at the one group Trump is losing support among: suburban white women, who appear to have grown disillusioned by Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, his antics and crassness, his willingness to antagonize, his racism and sexism.
Trump, who won the suburban vote by 5 percentage points in 2016 and carried 53 percent of the white women vote, has seen his approval rate drop among women living in suburbs or small cities, with 68 percent now disapproving of Trump’s job as president, according to an August NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll. And the president’s approval rating among white women at large is falling as well.
And so the Republican National Convention trotted out women and people of color who support Trump no matter what those damn Democrats say, insisting that Trump is not racist, he is not sexist, he is actually a very nice guy despite what your lying eyes and ears may tell you. They made the case that Trump, in fact, has hired women and supports criminal justice reform, even dolling out a live pardon on Tuesday night like it was a free car on reality TV. But the messengers were just as extreme as their president.
The line-up Tuesday began in earnest with anti-choice activist Abby Johnson, a superstar for anti-choice causes whose memoir became a biopic hit among conservative audiences. Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood employee who now works to convert those working in pro-choice circles to her anti-choice beliefs, began by attacking Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger as a eugenicist, arguing that its truly the Democrats with their pro-choice ideals who are racist baby killers.
“Margaret Sanger was a racist who believed in eugenics. Her goal when founding Planned Parenthood was to eradicate the minority population,” Johnson said, claiming that Planned Parenthood clinics today are strategically located in minority neighborhoods.
The argument is one she has made before, selectively speaking about how the eugenics movement and birth control movement intersected during the 1920s. While Sanger did embrace the eugenics movement—popular among both political parties at the time—she did so as a way to expand support for the legalization of birth control. In fact, Sanger worked with W.E.B. DuBois, the founder of the NAACP, the major legal organization dedicated to the advancement of Black people, to bring safe contraception to women of color.
Not included in Johnson’s speech were her own views on race. Johnson once said that cops would be “smart” to racially profile her own adopted biracial son, because “statistically, my brown son is more likely to commit a violent offense over my white sons,” as Vice reported ahead of her appearance. “So the fact that in his head, he would be more careful around my brown son than my white son, that doesn’t actually make me angry. That makes that police officer smart, because of statistics,” Johnson said in the since-deleted YouTube video.
In her speech, Johnson recounted her life story, a story that has been in dispute since she first told it publicly in 2009, describing in detail an abortion she says took place the day she quit Planned Parenthood—a procedure that she could not have witnessed because the day on which it supposedly happened, the clinic had no ultrasound abortions at all. Truth be damned, the graphic tale was directed not only at the evangelical supporters who made up the base of Trump voters in 2016 but at suburban white women uncomfortable with or unsure of their stance on abortion. “And this election is a choice between two radical, anti-life activists and the most pro-life president we have ever had,” Johnson concluded her speech.
Johnson may have presented herself as palatable to some white suburban moms, but her views are extreme. Johnson’s appearance was promoted by far-right activist Jack Posobeic, who furthered the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory and whom Johnson retweeted in the days ahead of her appearance. In May, Johnson advocated for household voting in which one person, usually the man of the household, votes for the whole household, The 19th reported. Historically, household voting has barred women and people of color from voting. And not only is Johnson for taking away a woman’s right to vote and her right to choose, she is against birth control, effectively insisting that women must bear children or live as a celibate nun.
Here’s another one. I would support bringing back household voting. ? How anti-feminist of me. ? — Abby Johnson (@AbbyJohnson) May 2, 2020
Johnson was just the first taste of a Republican women-promoted evening. A video featuring the women working in Trump’s administration set to inspirational tunes shown the spotlight on Kellyanne Conway, the unapologetic spinmeister who defended the Trump administration’s policy of separating kids from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border as well as candidate Trump bragging about grabbing women by the “pussy,” insisting he always had been “gracious and a gentleman” to her.
“Knowing the monumental tasks, he rested all of his hopes for winning on one woman,” a woman’s voice narrates. “Because of that trust, he became the 45th president of the United States, and Kellyanne Conway became the first woman in history to manage a winning presidential campaign.”
The video moved on to highlight the string of female White House press secretaries Trump has gone through since Sean Spicer stepped down, flashing footage of Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who effectively killed the daily briefing, Stephanie Grisham, who held not one press briefing, and the current press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, whose promise not to lie to the American public lasted not one hour. Trump, it seems, has been so kind as to have given so many women the opportunity to shamelessly lie for him.
Wednesday night, the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, featured a video seemingly celebrating the achievement of suffragettes, but it spent more time stressing how Susan B. Anthony voted Republican—with big block letters flashing on the screen—in 1872. Later footage showed Trump signing a posthumous pardon of Anthony—a pardon that was rejected by the Susan B. Anthony Museum, whose CEO, Deborah L. Hughes, said the best way to honor Anthony would be to restore the Voting Rights Act.
Conway took the stage herself later Wednesday evening, making plain her case for women to vote for Trump.
“A woman in a leadership role can still seem novel,” Conway claimed. “Not so for President Trump. For decades, he has elevated women to senior positions in business and in government. He confides in and consults us, respects our opinions, and insists that we are on equal footing with the men. President Trump helped me shatter a barrier in the world of politics by empowering me to manage his campaign to its successful conclusion.”
Kayleigh McEnany attempted to paint a picture of a compassionate Trump with a story about the president calling her after her mastectomy, wrapping up her speech by saying with a straight face, “I want my daughter to grow up in President Donald J. Trump’s America.”
The RNC’s courting to white women featured a two-pronged approach. While some female RNC speakers suggested that Trump wasn’t all that racist or sexist—just look at the women and people of color saying he’s not!—others fear-mongered about anarchy, Black “mobs” looting, and the death of the suburbs.
One night after police initially let go the white 17-year-old armed vigilante who shot three people protesting police brutality, killing two in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee praised law enforcement and attacked Democrats for wanting to “cancel” the police. Blackburn’s extremism is well-documented; in 2018, a Blackburn ad described a “caravan” of migrants as “gang members, known criminals, people from the Middle East, possibly even terrorists.”
Trump admirer Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota spoke Wednesday about Americans’ flight to the suburbs—generally called “white flight”—claiming that violence is rampant in Democratic-run cities.
“From Seattle and Portland to Washington and New York, Democrat-run cities across this country are being overrun by violent mobs,” she said. “The violence is rampant. There’s looting, chaos, destruction, and murder. People that can afford to flee have fled. But the people that can’t—good, hard-working Americans—are left to fend for themselves.”
It’s unclear how these ploys to court the suburban white women vote will fare. More than 180,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus pandemic still rampant in the U.S., and Trump is pushing for kids to go back to school, risking the safety of our youth and increasing the rate at which the coronavirus spreads. (Not that anyone listening to the RNC would have heard about the coronavirus in the present tense.) Racial justice protests have erupted because of the impunity with which some police commit acts of violence against Black Americans, cheered on by Trump’s “law and order” rhetoric and actions.
The United States is chaotic, and now more than ever, there’s a desire for a sense of normalcy. How suburban white women will vote depends on who they blame for the state of the country and whether they’re willing to address sexism and racism or whether they’d prefer to sweep it under the rug.

Elizabeth Farah , the co-founder and chief operating officer of the right-wing conspiracy theory website WorldNetDaily , posted a video Friday in which she declared that it is a sin to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2020 presidential election , asserting that it is akin to doing nothing while one ’ s family is viciously attacked by home invaders .
“ You ’ re obligated to vote for Trump/Pence in this 2020 election , ” she said .

“ There are home invaders right outside the door , pounding down the door , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do violence , perhaps rape the wife , whatever they do to their property—who cares .

Throughout the campaign , Beck steadfastly refused to support Trump , insisting that Jesus Christ himself would tell Beck not to support him because doing so would be disloyal to God .
Despite the fact that Trump ’ s first term in office has proven that just about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were accurate , Beck announced last year that he now supports Trump and intends to vote for him in November .
During Trump ’ s speech during the Republican National Convention last Thursday night , Beck expressed his regrets for the things he said about Trump during the 2016 campaign and followed that up on his radio program Friday by explaining what caused him to change his mind .
“ I felt so bad about what I said , how I said things in 2016 , and I ’ ve been feeling this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this convention , ” Beck said .

Perkins agreed with Norman , saying that commonalities between protests suggest that participants are being trained and organized , “ which would mean that someone is bankrolling it.

Perkins said there was a “ legitimate reason ” to have protests after the police killing of George Floyd , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were Marxist tactics designed to destabilize the country , “ bring down the Trump administration ” and affect the outcome of the 2020 election .

Norman called for a federal investigation into the funding of such protests, arguing that what’s happening in major cities “cannot be by happenstance.” During the interview Norman suggested that piles of bricks and rocks that have been pictured at protest sites suggested evidence of coordination—a claim that has no supporting evidence.
Perkins agreed with Norman, saying that commonalities between protests suggest that participants are being trained and organized, “which would mean that someone is bankrolling it.” Perkins has said on several occasions that he supports the right to peacefully assemble and protest but that he does not support property damage and violence. Perkins said there was a “legitimate reason” to have protests after the police killing of George Floyd, but that the property destruction and turmoil were Marxist tactics designed to destabilize the country, “bring down the Trump administration” and affect the outcome of the 2020 election.
“I would venture to say that there is a criminal conspiracy here, that will we will find if you follow the money trail, that this is not—as the congressman said—it didn’t just happen,” Perkins said. “It wasn’t organic. They saw an opportunity and they seized it.”
Perkins has enjoyed increased access to government officials during the Trump administration. At the top of Monday’s program, he interviewed Chad Wolf, Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

Right-wing politician and pundit Mike Huckabee used his appearance on Intercessors for America ’ s monthly prayer call Friday to claim that religious freedom is at stake in November ’ s election .
Echoing the religious-right leaders who have resisted COVID-19-related public health restrictions on church gatherings , Huckabee warned that if conservative Christians don ’ t vote , the government will force churches to shut down : The issue is policy .
Whether or not we as a nation will embrace religious liberty or whether we will believe that the government can tell a church that it can ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , can ’ t worship , can ’ t meet unless it gets the government ’ s permission .
This is very , very crazy kind of stuff we ’ re going through right now .
And if people don ’ t recognize it—they may say , ‘ Well , yeah , but it ’ s a pandemic ’ —but if the government will tell us what we can do during a pandemic , and we all follow along and march in line , then when and how long will it be before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can not continue to meet or sing or pray , and a pandemic has nothing to do with it ?
Please don ’ t think that this is an alarm that doesn ’ t have substance ; it does .
So , there are many fundamental issues today that really matter more than they ’ ve ever mattered before because you ’ ve never had the policies that are directing these two parties , two candidates , that are so divergent .
And if Christians sit this one out , and then one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how come my gifts to the church are not tax-exempt ?
Hey , how come the church is being taxed and we ’ re now going to have to pay property tax on the church ?
And we can ’ t afford that , so we ’ re going to go out of business.

And people will say , ‘ Well , this is not right.
’ And I ’ m going to say to them , ‘ Yeah , and you didn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it happened.

Friday ’ s call featured Huckabee and Jason Yates , CEO of My Faith Votes , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organization that IFA is partnering with .
Huckabee is My Faith Votes ’ honorary chair .
On the call , Kubal called the November third election “ the most important election in our lifetimes.
” Making it clear that IFA is not just about prayer , Kubal said , “ If you go to any of our sites—VoteYourValues2020.com , IFAPray—boy , it ’ s hard to not find a link to My Faith Votes , and that ’ s intentional , because Jason , what you do is such a complementary tool for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ that the church would wake up and understand the importance of this day.
” In his prayer , Huckabee said that “ it ’ s not that the Gospel is dependent upon America , but America is dependent upon the Gospel.
” Huckabee prayed that pastors would “ go to the pulpit and tell people that they must vote and to pray about their vote and to vote their values.
” Kubal highlighted a key Trump campaign theme , asking Huckabee about how important it is “ for our governmental authorities to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Hucakbee said , is to be in a nation “ that is driven by mobs rather than by law.
” To that point , Kubal and Huckabee described their experience of leaving the White House after the final night of Republican National Convention speeches to jeers from crowds gathered outside .
“ It was truly like going to the pits of hell , ” Huckabee said .
Kubal agreed , saying , “ I ’ ve never experienced that level of evil , that was shouting , spitting , and I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more physical violence.
” Neither Kubal nor Huckabee mentioned the physical violence that right-wing author and pundit Eric Metaxas engaged in after the event , punching a protester on a bike .
Yates followed Huckabee on the call .
He prayed that the church would “ stand up and be bold that what we support and what we value would be propagated in our communities , in our nation.
” Kubal similarly asked God “ for a spirit of boldness ” to “ sweep across ” the church and that the church would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their place in this culture.
” Huckabee also used the call to promote his latest book , “ The Three Cs That Made America Great : Christianity , Capitalism , and Constitution , ” which Huckabee humbly described as “ a great book.
” It features a foreword from Fox News personality and Trump favorite Sean Hannity .
In addition to its monthly prayer call , IFA has started weekly calls to encourage people to use its Vote Your Values map to identify individual low-propensity churchgoing voters in key states and to pray @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be moved to vote for “ biblical values.
” On Tuesday ’ s call , a prayer leader declared that “ godly government should reflect kingdom values.
” Kubal also promoted IFA ’ s “ Political Personality Test ” which it calls “ an opportunity for people to think about and to discover their values in comparison to the party platforms ’ values , and think about God ’ s values and vote God ’ s values.
” IFA has also produced a guide to praying about the presidential election , which identifies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign ’ s path to an Electoral College victory .
Given how strongly IFA supports the relentlessly lying Trump , it might be surprising that one of the suggested prayers in the guide asks “ that we would elect leaders who fear God and who are trustworthy and hate every kind of dishonesty .

Kubal asked Huckabee to pray “that the church would wake up and understand the importance of this day.” In his prayer, Huckabee said that “it’s not that the Gospel is dependent upon America, but America is dependent upon the Gospel.”
Huckabee prayed that pastors would “go to the pulpit and tell people that they must vote and to pray about their vote and to vote their values.”
Kubal highlighted a key Trump campaign theme, asking Huckabee about how important it is “for our governmental authorities to support law and order.” The alternative, Hucakbee said, is to be in a nation “that is driven by mobs rather than by law.”
To that point, Kubal and Huckabee described their experience of leaving the White House after the final night of Republican National Convention speeches to jeers from crowds gathered outside. “It was truly like going to the pits of hell,” Huckabee said. Kubal agreed, saying, “I’ve never experienced that level of evil, that was shouting, spitting, and I’m just amazed that there was not more physical violence.” Neither Kubal nor Huckabee mentioned the physical violence that right-wing author and pundit Eric Metaxas engaged in after the event, punching a protester on a bike.
Yates followed Huckabee on the call. He prayed that the church would “stand up and be bold that what we support and what we value would be propagated in our communities, in our nation.” Kubal similarly asked God “for a spirit of boldness” to “sweep across” the church and that the church would “rise up” and “take their place in this culture.”
Huckabee also used the call to promote his latest book, “The Three Cs That Made America Great: Christianity, Capitalism, and Constitution,” which Huckabee humbly described as “a great book.” It features a foreword from Fox News personality and Trump favorite Sean Hannity.
In addition to its monthly prayer call, IFA has started weekly calls to encourage people to use its Vote Your Values map to identify individual low-propensity churchgoing voters in key states and to pray for them by name that they will be moved to vote for “biblical values.” On Tuesday’s call, a prayer leader declared that “godly government should reflect kingdom values.”
Kubal also promoted IFA’s “Political Personality Test” which it calls “an opportunity for people to think about and to discover their values in comparison to the party platforms’ values, and think about God’s values and vote God’s values.”
IFA has also produced a guide to praying about the presidential election, which identifies the states that are essential to each campaign’s path to an Electoral College victory. Given how strongly IFA supports the relentlessly lying Trump, it might be surprising that one of the suggested prayers in the guide asks “that we would elect leaders who fear God and who are trustworthy and hate every kind of dishonesty.”


rightwingwatch--2020-09-08--E.W. Jackson Falsely Claims California Is Set to Legalize Pedophilia

Last week , the California legislature passed a bill aimed at ending discrimination against LGBTQ youth regarding the state ’ s sex offender registry .
Predictably , religious-right anti-LGBTQ activists have seized on the legislation to falsely suggest that the state is attempting to legalize pedophilia .
Under current California law , voluntary sex between a person aged 14 to 17 years old and an adult no more than 10 years older is illegal , but in cases involving vaginal intercourse , judges are given discretion to decide if the adult must be required to register as a sex offender @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forms of intercourse , such as oral or anal intercourse , the judge is given no such discretion , and sex offender registration for the adult is required .
As such , in cases where , for example , a 19-year-old male had “ traditional ” sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old female , it would be up to the judge to decide if the 1- year-old male must register as a sex offender , whereas in cases where a 19-year-old male had oral or anal sex with a 17-year-old male , the 19-year-old @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a sex offender .
The California legislation aims to eliminate this discrimination by giving judges the discretion to decide whether the adult in all cases involving voluntary intercourse with a minor within 10 years of age must register as sex offenders .
The legislation does not legalize such intercourse , nor does it legalize pedophilia in any way , as the countless articles fact-checking such baseless claims make clear .

Last week, the California legislature passed a bill aimed at ending discrimination against LGBTQ youth regarding the state’s sex offender registry. Predictably, religious-right anti-LGBTQ activists have seized on the legislation to falsely suggest that the state is attempting to legalize pedophilia.
Under current California law, voluntary sex between a person aged 14 to 17 years old and an adult no more than 10 years older is illegal, but in cases involving vaginal intercourse, judges are given discretion to decide if the adult must be required to register as a sex offender. But in cases involving all other forms of intercourse, such as oral or anal intercourse, the judge is given no such discretion, and sex offender registration for the adult is required.

The California legislation aims to eliminate this discrimination by giving judges the discretion to decide whether the adult in all cases involving voluntary intercourse with a minor within 10 years of age must register as sex offenders. The legislation does not legalize such intercourse, nor does it legalize pedophilia in any way, as the countless articles fact-checking such baseless claims make clear.

That means that a 20-year-old could use a 10-year-old, and that’s OK.”
“Here’s the justification behind it,” he continued. “These consent laws, they say, are blatant discrimination against young LGBT people engage in consensual sexual activity. … This bill is directed at same-sex involvement.

Anti-LGBTQ author and religious-right activist Michael Brown was a guest of California pastor-politician Rob McCoy’s Sunday evening “fireside chat,” during which Brown claimed that Black Lives Matter protesters engage in “witchcraft” when they call the names of people killed by police. Brown, who has said that President Donald Trump was elected “by the sovereign intervention of God,” claimed in a book last year that “radical feminism” and “witchcraft” and “emotionally castrated males” are all evidence of a demonic plot to destroy the United States.

McCoy resigned from his city council post earlier this year in protest when he decided that his church would defy pandemic-related public health restrictions.
McCoy and Brown discussed a range of issues, from End Times theology to the church’s role in the political arena. Brown portrayed himself as a supporter of civil rights while criticizing the BLM movement for being founded by “radical feminists.” He said that when BLM movement leaders speak aloud the names of people killed by police violence, they are “calling on spirits of the dead.”
“When you say the name, you’re also calling on the person to come forth, for those spirits to come forth and empower the movement,” Brown said. “So, it’s basically witchcraft.” He continued:
And you think this whole thing is very Jezebelic in that regard, in terms of joining together radical feminism, attack on gender, attack on family structure, emasculating men, and then you bring in the appeal to the spirits of the dead. So, I have been warning people for months: Separate from the movement. It is anarchist. It is anti-Christ. Show your solidarity with Black friends in different ways. Where you see injustice, confront it, but separate from the movement.
Brown described what he called “a dramatic shift in culture” that grew out of the “counterculture revolution” of the 1960s:
And I see things now with mobocracy and the cancel culture and the move towards socialism. And to me, it’s not so much socialism versus capitalism, but socialism seeking to shut down the Gospel.

McCoy added that only half of those who are registered vote in a presidential election year and only 12 percent in a non-presidential election.
You want an awakening? You awaken when you open the law again and dust it off, and the people rejoice, and they have a system that governs them. And then a God who infuses it. This is missing. We have to awaken to that. I’m not talking about legalism. I’m not talking about dominionism. I’m not talking about a theocracy. I’m talking about people participating with wisdom.
McCoy, who appeared to be enamored by Brown’s scholarly credentials, said he hopes to continue to engage Brown in public conversation.

“ You need to wake up , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is asking you to leave , forcefully .

They ’ ve made it eminently clear that they are the party of not Christianity , but of perversion , of late term abortion , which is nothing but the most barbaric form of human sacrifice in the modern era .

They didn ’ t realize when God had come to save them.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we lost our right for a soft cure .
Our sin did that , ” Murillo declared .
“ Now we have a man who ’ s a wrecking ball , but he ’ s in God ’ s hands .
And you need to understand : By voting for Trump , you are stopping a flood of evil in our nation .
It is absolutely undeniable .
And whenever I meet what is quote , unquote a woke Christian— ’ Oh , I don ’ t like Trump , I don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I look at it , what is your alternative ?
What you need to ask yourself is what Dietrich Bonhoeffer asked Germany : ‘ What are you doing to stop Hitler ?
