Christian Fundamentalist Pastor Has a Major Meltdown Defending Roy Moore



“Did you stop beating your wife, yes or no? Did you stop beating your wife, yes or no? Did you stop beating your wife? Answer, yes or no!”

The brain of Rev. Flip Benham, leader of the extremist Christian fundamentalist group “Operation Save America,” based in North Carolina, seemed to be stuck on repeat, and he couldn’t stop berating a reporter in Alabama with the same nonsensical question. Or, as right-wing commenters like to say, he was triggered.

Benham’s meltdown happened in a hallway Wednesday afternoon outside of a meeting of “faith leaders” who had come to Birmingham to staunchly defend accused pedophile and U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore.

The group Benham leads claims the Bible as its “foundation,” and states on its website that, “Operation Save America unashamedly takes up the cause of preborn children in the name of Jesus Christ. We employ only biblical principles.”

For those of you without history or memory of history, here's the flipside of Flip Benham. He made it his mission to go after Norma McCorvey, otherwise known as Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade. Norma got "saved" by Flip in 1995 when Operation Rescue moved next door to where she worked (a women's clinic) and totally recanted her role in giving women in America the first full legal right to control their bodies reproductively. Not just regretted her decision, but vowed to overturn Roe.

Then Flip showcased her. Norma felt the love and appreciation from the Moral Majority among others.
