Our apologies.īrad speaks with a man he calls Jeff (identity hidden) who went undercover at the book burning led by Pastor Greg Locke. Both he and Jeff were a bit tense-wanting to get the story right and bring listeners into the scene, without giving away Jeff's identity. Brad didn't catch it in the conversation. Newsweek reached out to Locke's Global Vision Bible Church Sunday afternoon for any additional remarks.*Correction*: "Jeff" says that Locke's church is in McMinnville, TN. The pastor also said any Christian leader who is avoiding political issues is "utterly arrogant and foolish." Instead, the pastor said Thursday that abortion is a "moral, anti-Biblical issue." Locke said abortion is absolutely not a topic of "women's health care," nor should it be considered in the realm of politics.
He blasted the unnamed pastor and described his own personal duty to end the "butchering of babies that we call 'abortion.'" In a selfie video posted to his official Facebook page last Thursday, Locke said he recently received criticism from a fellow pastor who advised him to steer clear of politics and to avoid topics like abortion from the pulpit. "My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power." "A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20," Trump said in a video at the time. Pastor Says Trump Will Be President Again, Has God's Mantle of Anointing.Pastor Says Donald Trump Did Win Election, Insists He's Not a False Prophet.That was one day after his supporters stormed the U.S. And California pastor Kris Vallotton actually apologized to his supporters for getting the election wrong, before promptly deleting the apology over blowback from his far-right evangelical supporters.Įarlier this month, Locke told Newsweek that Trump "never conceded the election" despite the former president having done just that on January 7. In the days after Biden was declared president-elect back in November, North Carolina-based "prophet" Jeremiah Johnson predicted Trump would "reclaim" victory and would be able to retain his position in the White House on the back of a Baby Boomer-led revolution. Joe Biden is a fake president!"Īs Newsweek has previously covered, numerous self-proclaimed "prophets" and unabashedly political evangelical church leaders wrongly predicted that Trump would easily defeat Biden. Biden's administration is as fake as it's ever been. "You just need to accept the results of Biden's administration. "Well, you just need to accept the results," he continued in a mockingly soft tone, imitating the voice of anyone and everyone who believes Biden clearly defeated Trump in both the Electoral College and popular vote. All this fearmongering, the media is worse than it's ever been." "It'd be nice if all the Biden voters would put their signs back in the front yard so their neighbors at least know why they're starving to death, somebody say amen right there," he added.
He's a liar, and a robber and a thief and a crook," Locke told his cheering supporters. I don't give two flips and a wooden nickel what anybody thinks about it. What do you do if you're a right-wing pastor who repeatedly *guaranteed* that Joe Biden would never be president? Well, if you're Greg Locke, you just use every Sunday service to rant that "Joe Biden is a fake president!" /GkJCcEjbXl- Right Wing Watch May 2, 2021
