Religion Dispatches reports:
On October 12th one of the most remarkable political statements of any religious leader in this or any election season was broadcast live from an all-day rally of tens of thousands of people on the Washington Mall. The event, called A Million Women, was staged by some of the leading apostles and prophets in the New Apostolic Reformation.
The event was large and significant by any reasonable measure. Apostle Cindy Jacobs [screenshot] says the National Park Service estimated the crowd to be 250,000. Speakers called for electoral mobilization and the exorcism of demons from society in general and government in particular. This was what Che Ahn meant when he decreed that Kamala Harris will not only be voted out, but “cast out.” He drew on the biblical story of Jezebel to suggest Harris merits such treatment.
After telling the crowd that he views Trump as “a kind of Jehu” and Kamala Harris as “a type of Jezebel,” Ahn then declared that he’d thrown a stone in the trash and engaged in a “prophetic act… and cast out Jezebel.” Even if the numbers are unclear, the implicit threat of political violence is not.

It’s quite the deep dive into the fervent Christian nationalism behind Trump. Skip around the 10-hour video below and you’ll see prominent anti-LGBTQ nutbags such as Michele Bachmann, Lou Engle, Lance “Bad Wig” Wallnau, and Dutch Sheets.
You’ll also see endless shots of sobbing women in the standard “palms to heaven” pose. As for the above-mentioned “apostle” Cindy Jacobs, longtime readers will recall her many appearances here and some of her greatest hits are below.
