A Trump-Approved Preacher Says Coronavirus Is Here to Punish Us for LGTBQ

Where have we heard such dangerous garbage before? Oh, yes, by him.

The coronavirus is here to cut down “sexual immorality” and “perverted transgender” stuff, according to Pastor Rick Wiles, a fundamentalist Christian and all around terrible human being.

I don’t think his indictment is fair to the coronavirus, and I know it is not fair to our LGTBQ friends. A sick question that might be asked of fundamentalists is whether a virus or plague has visited this country in recent history that they haven’t blamed upon gay people? This same guy blamed the Ebola virus in 2014.

We are told such bullshit by a disgusting man. Rick Wiles is the founder of TruNews a cesspool as seen below.

Wiles is a virulent anti-Semitist, having called the impeachment a “Jew coup,” saying that when “Jews take over a country they kill millions of Christians,” which might be more offensive since – if anything – history teaches us it is the exact opposite. Perhaps we should also label Wiles as a Holocaust denier. He is also anti-communist, and … well, pretty well hates everyone that is not like him.

 “My spirit bears witness that this is a genuine plague that is coming upon the earth, and God is about to purge a lot of sin off this planet …

“Look at the spiritual rebellion that is in this country, the hatred of God, the hatred of the Bible, the hatred of righteousness, just vile, disgusting people in this country now, transgendering little children, perverting them. Look at the rapes and the sexual immorality and the filth on our TVs and our movies.”

With that last tiny bit you might almost think that he’s talking about the White House and Trump, but of course, no – he’s actually fully supported by Trump. Indeed, the guy was in Davos Switzerland last week at Trump’s invitation:

“We want to thank President Trump and the White House for extending the invitation to be here,” Wiles said in a video from Davos. “We are honored to be here, representing the kingdom of heaven and our king Jesus Christ.” He said TruNews had received an email that the event was coming up, applied for press credentials, and was accepted.

This guy’s organization “TruNews” applied for press credentials to the White House and the vile group of people that literally hate everyone who has the audacity to not be “them” actually got White House press credentials as if they were the New York Times.

There is literally no bottom to this White House or its most adamant supporters, of which, this guy is one. Especially on a day like today, I find this to turn the stomach, almost as part and parcel of what is happening in the Senate. Certainly Republican senators should be cognizant of the fact that more of this is coming. Trump is going to be much more emboldened. Do not think for a second that his most virulent supporters will follow his example.

Peace, y’all
