I’m sure a pastor that preaches that government officials don’t have to follow the law if they deem it is “immoral” or against the rule of God is gaining a fuckton of support from the party where they already believe that government officials don’t have to follow the law just because they are government officials.

This guy is an absolute crackpot who thinks lawmakers don’t need to be law-followers, and preached that to the fucking police!

There’s so many wild quotes in the article from this “far right thought leader”, but this had to be the dumbest:

In a brief interview, I asked Trewhella about his reputational shift over the decades. He responded: “Most people will always only care about three things in life: me, myself and I. … It’s only because of their mundane, self-absorbed lives that they would think someone like me is an extremist. That’s my answer.”

Trewhella did not respond to over a dozen attempts to set up a second interview. He did not answer written questions by email and refused a certified letter containing them.

I’m only considered extreme because you’re selfish.

• Trewhella says that he promotes nonviolence. But after an activist killed an abortion provider in 1993, he signed a document describing the murder of these doctors as “justifiable.”

Hold up, hold up - you’re suggesting a far-right pastor is some kind of, what, i don’t know, hypocrite??

I mean - pfft. That’s. That’s pretty far-fetched isn’t it?
