Tennessee Baptist Pastor Calls For Violence Against Trump & Musk In Name Of Jesus

Chattanooga, Tennessee, Baptist Pastor Steve Caudle publicly called for his congregation to engage in violence in response to President Donald Trump placing Elon Musk in charge of auditing the U.S. Treasury Department.

“In this nation, I worry that we are on the verge of bloodshed. This is an attempt to take us back to a day that we do not want to go, and we will not go. Therefore there will be conflict. I pray that the peace of God will win out and overcome the madness that is attempting to take over this nation,” Caudle said.

“I’ll say to you, beloved, no one likes violence, but sometimes violence is necessary,” the pastor continued. “When Elon Musk forces his way into the United States Treasury and threatens to steal your personal information and your social security check, there is the possibility of violence.”

“Sometimes the Devil will act so ugly that you have NO CHOICE but to get violent and fight!” he added. “Well, someone might say, Reverend, you shouldn’t be talking about violence, this isn’t the Christian thing to do. Well, I will say why not talk this way because Jesus did.”

The statement comes on the heels of several prominent Democrat politicians also calling for Americans to take to the streets and “fight” back against the Trump administration.
