Pastor Rob McCoy of Calvary Chapel Thousand Oaks in California was the guest on today’s “WallBuilders Live” radio broadcast, discussing his recent unsuccessful effort to win a seat in the state assembly. Despite losing his race, McCoy spun his campaign as a victory by claiming that Democrats were so terrified that he might win that the party had to spend millions of dollars to defeat him, thereby draining money from other races in the state and costing the party several seats.
McCoy was very encouraged by his showing in the race, but was even more energized by his participation in a recent tour of Europe led by Mike Huckabee and bankrolled by David Lane which he said made him realize that if more pastors do not get involved in politics by running for office, America could turn into Nazi Germany.
“We were at Auschwitz and Birkenau at the death camps and we came to realize thirty two SS guards killed nine hundred thousand Jews,” McCoy said. “You’re either committed or you’re compromised and we stood there, a hundred and ten pastors, realizing that if we don’t speak up, we’re going to watch those rail cars just annihilate our culture and we’re going to be held captive by a minority and we have a responsibility to speak up”:
