“Daniel Darling, senior vice president of communications for the National Religious Broadcasters, was fired Friday (Aug. 27) after refusing to say his pro-vaccine statements were mistaken,” reports Religion News Service.
The association of televangelists reportedly firing Darling after he refused to bow down and beg for forgiveness for his sins against Trump.”
During a broadcast on Aug. 2, Darling, an evangelical pastor and author, told host Joe Scarborough about how his faith motivated him to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Darling described the vaccines as an amazing feat of discovery by scientists, some of whom share his Christian faith. Darling said he was proud to be vaccinated.”
“Earlier this week, leaders at NRB, an international association of [grifting televangelists] with 1,100 member organizations, told Darling his statements violated the organization’s policy of remaining neutral about COVID-19 vaccines. According to the source, Darling was given two options — sign a statement admitting he had been insubordinate or be fired. When he refused to sign a statement, Darling was fired and given no severance, the source told RNS.”
“While on ‘Morning Joe,’ Darling said his Christian faith played a key role in his decision to be vaccinated — saying the Bible’s command to love our neighbors informed that decision. The vaccine, he said, helps protect our neighbors from the spread of COVID-19. Darling also expressed sympathy for those who are hesitant to be vaccinated, seeing it as part of a larger breakdown of trust in American culture.”
The MAGA/Christian Hucksterism movement requires absolute uniformity of thought from all members, and will not tolerate any public statements in support of the Covid19 vaccine. Doing so is considered the equivalent of renouncing one’s faith in the Lord and Savior Donald Trump, who is considered the unquestioned messiah of stupid and gullible white people.
