There’s been no shortage of right-wing televangelists celebrating Donald Trump’s presidential victory, but leave it to Texas MAGA cultist Kenneth Copeland to ratchet up the hate and bile to new proportions.
During Copeland’s first Sunday sermon after the election, he declared that Trump’s return to the White House will unleash a “spiritual awakening” in America, according to reporting by the online site Right Wing Watch.
What kind of awakening? Well, one where LGBTQ+ people are afraid to make themselves known and where Jesus would personally deliver eternal damnation to anyone who didn’t vote for the bronzer-smeared reality show host-turned-Christian nationalist savior.
“No more rainbow flags,” Copeland said of the new era.
The pastor added that he’d had a vision in which the ever-merciful Jesus would hold anyone who voted against Trump — or didn’t bother to vote — responsible for every fetus aborted in history, according to Right Wing Watch.
”[It was] Judgment Day, and Jesus stood there and he said, ‘Those of you that didn’t vote, I put you in that nation and you didn’t vote … or you didn’t pray and vote like I told you to, you will listen to the names of all the babies that are here and never got any life. And it’ll take a while because there’s over 65 million of them. But you are gonna listen to every one of them and you are gonna be held responsible for their death.’”
Interestingly, a YouTube video Copeland’s Eagle Mountain International Church posted of his tirade has since been taken down. Wonder if it’s because the assclown’s sentiments aren’t exactly on-brand with the church’s slogan that it’s the place “Where love is king.”
