Evangelical Pastors Are Secretly Spreading the Gospel of QAnon on YouTube

The tent was getting hot by the time Pastor Greg Locke finished his sermon at Global Vision Bible Church, an evangelical ministry in Mt. Juliet, a suburb of Nashville, in late June.

Locke had thrown off his suit jacket as he enthralled his audience of hundreds, raving about child-trafficking "tunnels" under the White House and accused President Joe Biden, Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hanks, among others, “a bunch of pedophiles.”

He also repeatedly said that former President Donald Trump was the legitimate president and “you gotta smoke a lot of dope in your momma’s basement not to believe that fact.”

Then he turned to the audience, assembled in a tent set up to accommodate his fast-growing congregation, and wondered aloud “why more pastors don’t talk about this stuff?”

He's clearly projecting as they always tend to do, broadcast their own failings.

She was his first wife's best friend, about 10 years younger than then, but she was an adult when he started banging her a number of years before he left wife #1.
