Gee, I wonder why?? Anti Vaxx Pastor asks why more Democrats don't die from Covid

Extreme rightwing pastor Kent Christmas (yes, that is his real name) is demanding to know why more “big Democrats” haven’t died from COVID-19 yet.
The antigay, anti-vax pastor helms Regeneration Nashville with his wife, Candy. In a recent sermon, he questioned why more people who are vaccinated aren’t dying, while those who choose to remain unvaccinated are keeling over in record numbers.

“I can’t think of one big Democrat that’s died from the coronavirus,” Christmas ranted. “I can’t think of one billionaire that’s died of coronavirus. Doesn’t that make you wonder?”
“Bill Gates is fine! George Soros is fine!”

promote the best-proven method of reducing deaths from Covid... Which is Covid vaccines.

the powers that be in the GOP are okay sacrificing middling Republican voices to the anti-vaxx gods in order to maintain fundraising capacity.

10. Pastor rages that half his flock have a gay "son, daughter, niece, nephew, brother or sister"

With advances in LGBTQ rights, more people feel safe and comfortable to be their selves and come out to those around them. Unsurprisingly, nowadays, most people in the U.S. will know of someone—acquaintance, family member, work colleague—who is gay. For one televangelist, this is proof that the “demonic spirit” of homosexuality is succeeding in taking over Christian children.

A clip of right-wing pastor Kent Christmas, founder of ​​Regeneration Nashville in Nashville, TN, delivering a sermon to an arena audience has prompted lots of comments online.



“We have all of this going on – for the last couple of 20, 30 years. And while we’re building the biggest churches, never have Christians’ children been more taken over by homosexuality than they are right now,” said Kent, who was speaking at an evangelical summit last Friday in Washington DC. “If I asked each and every one of you to stand that has a son, daughter, niece, nephew, brother or sister that is gay, half of you would stand up in this building.

“Because it is a demonic spirit that’s come after our seed! And the church that God is raising up in this hour is going to have authority over that! “We’re not gonna tell ’em they’re going to hell, we’re not gonna tell ’em they’re scum. We’re gonna tell ’em that they’re born of God, that God will set them free, and change them by the power of the holy ghost.”

The blood on the doorframe is indeed the vaccine protecting us from death due to plague.

You should go preach this sermon!

"An apparently homeless man demolished an anti-vaccine protester’s argument on Saturday ― and he only needed six words to do it.

A clip posted on Twitter by @FilmThePoliceLA shows a woman walking down Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles with a bullhorn claiming the coronavirus is a hoax.

At one point, she asks rhetorically, “Do you seeall of these homeless people around? Are they dead in the street with COVID? Hell no. Why?”

The unidentified man pipes up with a pretty good explanation: “Because I’m vaccinated, you dumb fuck.”
