'Alex Jones Did Nothing Wrong': Meet the Christian Nationalist Behind 'Pastors For Trump'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Even by the standards of the MAGA fever-swamps, pastor Jackson Lahmeyer’s social media posts are extreme. A sampling of his outré takes:

“Alex Jones did nothing wrong”

“Fauci is a mass-murdering Luciferian”

-snip-

Yet far from making him politically radioactive, the Oklahoma church leader’s trollier-than-thou persona helps explain his rapid ascent in the orbit of Donald Trump.

1. I suggest he pass the collection plate and help Alex pay off his debts. (nt)

2. No, He did not do "Nothing" wrong.

Alex Jones did EVERYTHING wrong. You name it. He did it. Lying, sick S.o.b.

3. These depraved fuckers actually believe it -- Dump said the same thing

[Midnight Writer]

4. I don't think they do believe it. I think they are conmen tapping into a lucrative, gullible base.

The people who believe Alex Jones, who believe Trump, are people who are ripe for fleecing by anyone waving a cross or a flag.

5. I like living in the real world where there are concepts called facts and science

6. To some extent, all preachers are con men. Some just clean up better than others.

They sell immortality to people who are terrified at the thought of death; it is a nearly foolproof scheme. There is, and always has been a lot of money in the religion business, where there is money there will be crooks. Why are we surprised when "men of God" go outside of the normal bounds.

7. Nowadays, when someone calls himself a "pastor" I consider it a warning, and stay far away.
