Right-wing preacher Lance Wallnau streamed a video on Periscope last night in which he asserted that millions of Americans are too afraid to admit that they support President Trump, which he likened directly to the Jews in the Bible who "all knew" that Jesus Christ was the Messiah and were too afraid to admit it.
"I'm just fed up with the fact that believers have to operate like the Jewish people did," he said. "They all knew Jesus was the Messiah but nobody actually identified with him for fear of being put out of the synagogue. I mean, Donald Trump is that for me; you've got 50 million people that voted for him and you wouldn't know where they are."
Wallnau lamented that too many people are afraid of upsetting the "moronic elites who are progressively antagonistic to Donald Trump" to admit that they support the president, but predicted that millions of these voters will turn out in the midterms to support Republicans, resulting in "the first election where the 30 or so seats that are supposed to be lost don't get lost."
"In Hollywood and in the entertainment circles, conservatives and Christians cannot openly acknowledge their values and beliefs for fear of being put out of the synagogue," Wallnau said. "How is this not like Israel at the time when Jesus was here? It's exactly like that."
