On his radio program yesterday, right-wing pastor E.W. Jackson declared that Christians are “at a political disadvantage when dealing with the left” because left-wing activists “have no morals” and will “commit murder if they think they can get away with it.”
Jackson, who was the Republican Party nominee for lieutenant governor of Virginia in 2013 and unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the U.S. Senate in 2018, was upset about being called a bigot for his recent attack on George Soros, in which he called the progressive billionaire philanthropist “an evil man” who “is demon-possessed.”
“This is what they do, folks,” he said. “They do this to shut you down, to shut you up. They do this to try to marginalize you. They do this to try to damage your reputation. They do this to try to convince others that you’re a person not worthy of being heard because you’re full of hatred, and anger, and bitterness, and you’re a danger, and you’re violent.”
“We really are at a political disadvantage in dealing with the left,” Jackson added. “You know why? Because they have no morals and we answer to God. That puts us at a political disadvantage because it means that they will do anything and we will not. They will lie, steal, cheat, deceive, I dare say commit murder if they think they can get away with it.”
“When you come for a philosophy that teaches that there is no absolute morality, that there is no absolute good or evil, right or wrong, then the ends justify the means,” he concluded. “That’s exactly what Marx taught.”
