TX-SEN: Pete Hegseth's Pastor Says He Wants James Talarico To Die

[RandySF]

WASHINGTON — The pastor from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s home church in Tennessee said last week on a podcast that he wants James Talarico to die, referring to the Texas Democratic state representative and Presbyterian seminarian who regularly discusses his Christian faith in his current bid for U.S. Senate.

Brooks Potteiger, an evangelical pastor who has been described as Hegseth’s closest spiritual adviser, repeatedly attacked Talarico on the podcast “Reformation Red Pill.” The show is hosted by Joshua Haymes, a former pastoral intern at Potteiger’s church.

After referring to the Texas Democrat as “a wolf,” a “demon,” a “snake” and an “enemy,” the two talked about what they hope becomes of Talarico.

“I pray that God kills him,” Haymes said. “Ultimately, that means killing his heart and raising him up to new life in Christ.”

3. Radical Christian clerics running the show is a bad look for the U.S.

and their slow-burn repeal to worship/not worship freely and without consequence is, from my chair, starting to look downright dangerous, even to the rank and file churchgoer.

5. The Iranian Ayatollahs got nothing on us

We are within an inch of falling into a religious fundamentalist dictatorial regime forever. These nuts are already well entrenched in the GOP.
