California recall candidate Larry Elder to visit megachurch offering COVID-19 vaccine exemptions
California recall contender Larry Elder, who has vowed to repeal mask and vaccine mandates for state workers, is visiting Destiny Christian Church in the Sacramento area on Sunday (Sept. 5) to talk about “the role of the church” with pastor Greg Fairrington, who in recent days offered religious vaccine exemptions for people who attended Sunday service.
Elder, a Los Angeles Republican and conservative talk show host who refers to himself as “the sage of South Central,” has emerged as a front-runner in the campaign to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The state’s residents will vote on Sept. 14 whether to recall Newsom.
Although a new poll by the Public Policy Institute of California found that Elder dominated among the Republicans seeking to replace Newsom, a majority (58%) of likely voters said they will vote “No” on removing the governor from office.
Fairrington, during an Aug. 1 sermon, told congregants of his church to “do your job as Christians on Sept. 14 and vote yes on recalling an immoral governor.”
“Are we afraid of big tech, socialism, higher taxes? Are we afraid of a vaccine, liberal school boards, racial, social agendas, CRT (critical race theory), LGBTQ agenda,” he asked. “The gender-neutral doctrine, anti-America, radical groups like Black Lives Matter? What are we afraid of, church?”
