'Conservatism is brain rot': Internet slams MAGA 'prophet' Hank Kunneman after he says God is 'far-right'

OMAHA, NEBRASKA: In a sermon delivered on Sunday, April 28, Pastor Hank Kunneman, a self-proclaimed "prophet" and supporter of former President Donald Trump, ignited a firestorm of criticism with his polarizing claims about God's political affiliations.

Speaking from the pulpit of his Lord of Hosts Church in Omaha, Nebraska, Kunneman boldly asserted that God is "far right" and that the Democratic Party represents "dark, black evil," as reported by Newsweek.

Hank Kunneman uses same-sex marriage as litmus test for God's supposed conservative leanings

Kunneman's inflammatory remarks focused primarily on the issue of same-sex marriage, which he used as a litmus test for God's supposed conservative leanings.

"By the way, God is far right, never forget it. He doesn't just say, 'If you decide two men want to be married and you really love each other, I'll give you a pass.' He said, 'No, marriage is between one man and one woman,'" Kunneman declared, as captured in a video uploaded by Right Wing Watch on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

Doubling down on his divisive rhetoric, the outspoken pastor further proclaimed, "By the way, any politicians that's watching, the liberal left, they're not purple, they love the fact that they're blue. And not just blue, they are dark, black evil. That Democratic party of no religious affiliation."

Hank Kunneman's remarks highlight growing polarization within American Christianity

Kunneman's remarks highlighted the growing polarization within American Christianity, with a clear divide emerging along partisan lines.

In April 2023, findings from a Pew Research Center survey showed that 59 percent of American Protestants identified with the Republican Party, while 38 percent leaned towards the Democratic Party.

Additionally, the survey revealed that 52 percent of American Catholics affiliated themselves with the Republican Party, with 44 percent aligning with the Democratic Party.

Kunneman's controversial sermon marked another instance of his involvement in political discourse. Back in August 2023, he condemned the indictment against Trump and 18 others in Fulton County, Georgia, regarding their actions following the 2020 election, labeling it as "the devil's work."

A month prior, in July 2023, Kunneman implored those who trusted the results of the 2020 presidential election to "reexamine [their] theology." Additionally, Kunneman launched a verbal assault on former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy due to his Hindu faith.
