“People like T.D. Jakes say that they’re not politically engaged, politically condoning, or endorsing specific candidates but yet he has a repeated history of inviting, welcoming, and promoting very left leaning politicians,” Feucht told ChurchLeaders.
“The issue with Beto is that he supports abortion up until the moment of birth,” Feucht continued. “In addition, he wants to revoke 501(c)(3) statuses for churches and organizations that agree with biblical marriage—anyone who stands for biblical marriage between a man and a woman, O’Rourke wants to take away the organization’s 501(c)(3) status.”
The fact that Jakes, who has a large following and influential voice, welcomed a pro-choice and pro-same-sex marriage politician into his megachurch “becomes very, very confusing to people, especially when those same pastors say that they don’t want to get in politics,” Feucht said.
“Obviously, they’re lying,” Feucht said. “They clearly do and their values align with the left.”
Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk called Jakes a “heretic” and a “fool” for welcoming O’Rourke into his church.
“Let it be known to all in Christianity that T.D. Jakes proudly hosts the most radical abortion candidate imaginable in a place of worship. Heretic and fool,” Kirk tweeted.
