Rev. Carl Gallups, who gave rousing invocation at Donald Trump rally, is a Sandy Hook truther,....
says grieving parents are nothing more than Hollywood actors
The Rev. Carl Gallups preaches from both sides of his mouth: He endorses Donald Trump, yet denies the slaughter of 26 innocents at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Gallups, who delivered the a rousing invocation at Florida rally for The Donald in January, is a so-called “truther” who insists not a single person was killed three years ago in Newtown, Conn.
Not one of the 20 murdered first-graders. And not one of the six executed staffers, including those who gave their lives protecting the helpess kids.
Gallups claims not a single bullet was fired on Dec. 14, 2012, when officials report there were 154 shots.
In a radio show earlier this year, Gallups suggested that David and Francine Wheeler — parents of slain 6-year-old Ben — were “Hollywood actors” hired by the nation’s gun control advocates.
“This guy named David Wheeler, who was dragged before the nation ... by Obama after the Newtown school shootings, supposedly, Sandy Hook, and played the part of a grieving father with a woman standing beside him, crying, slinging snot,” said Gallups.
“This guy, he and his so-called wife, are standing up there and they’re grieving, and ‘My child, my child, this and that, we gotta get take the guns.’ ... This dude is a Hollywood actor, his so-called wife is a Hollywood actor.”
There was no immediate response from the Trump campaign, which recently came under fire after former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke spoke highly of the billionaire developer.
Trump released a statement expressing his delight after Gallups and five others announced their support of his run for the Republican presidential nomination.
“It is my great honor to receive endorsements from each of these incredible people,” said Trump. “Their support for my message and endorsement of my candidacy ... means so much to me.”
Gallups was described in a Trump news release as an author, radio and television talk show host and the senior pastor of the Hickory Hammock Baptist Church. Gallups was unavailable for comment Tuesday.
On the same radio broadcast where Gallups denounced the Wheelers, his guest made reference to the Boston Marathon bombing as “the Boston Hoaxathon” and insisted the Obama family was a CIA plant in the White House.
With the Florida primary just a week away, Gallups is spreading the gospel of Trump among his fellow conservative Christians.
“We’re not electing a priest, a pope or a pastor,” Gallups told The Associated Press. “We’re electing a president, a CEO, a commander in chief. I’m not perfectly happy with Donald Trump either, but I’m a realist.”
