Hank Kunneman, a right-wing pastor who runs One Voice Ministries in Omaha, Nebraska, delivered a prophetic sermon on New Year's Eve in which he declared that God will use 2019 to weaken and divide the Democratic Party ahead of the 2020 elections.
"Watch what I will do, says the Lord," Kunneman said. "How is this, you say, we have a Democratic House? Listen, there is a spirit, and I've allowed it, an evil spirit—and I'm not speaking political, says the Lord, I'm speaking to that which has been devised by the enemy to seek to stall you, to create division and conflict. As it was in the days of Pharaoh and of Egypt, when they stood proud and said, 'We shall stop Moses and we shall stop Israel,' so this House that is seeking to align is whispering in secret this same thing."
"Who do you think you are?" Kunneman continued, speaking on behalf of God. "For as I drowned Pharaoh and his army, I will drown the lying spirits that seek to divide. Out of your mouth, oh donkey party, you shall speak and you will overplay your hand. And because you will overplay your hand, there shall come a split in your own party, for the division that you shall seek to bring shall divide your own party and it shall greatly effect the 2020 election."
