Notorious far-right pundit Rick Wiles is getting a taste of his own bitter
medicine after catching COVID-19, a disease he claimed was “God’s
judgement” for LGBT+ people.
The controversial figure, who claims God sent COVID-19 “to purge a lot of
sin off this planet,” was hospitalised with the virus this week. He is 67
years old.
The news was confirmed on Saturday (29 May) by Raymond Burkhart, vice
president of Wiles’ church, who said the pastor is now “very weak”.
“Rick is very much in need of your continued prayers,” he said in an email
to devotees. “Today, he was taken to the emergency room, and under medical
advice, was admitted to the hospital. He is currently on oxygen and is
expected to remain there for a number of days.”
Wiles’ far-right conspiracy show TruNews followed this up with an “urgent”
plea for an “army of people” to pray for the ailing preacher.
Exactly how he caught the virus will be a mystery to his followers after
he blamed it on sinners, specifically the “vile, disgusting people” who
are “transgendering little children”.
“Look at the spiritual rebellion that is in this country, the hatred of
God, the hatred of the Bible, the hatred of righteousness, the hatred of
innocence,” he told TruNews viewers.
“Vile, disgusting people in this country now, transgendering little
children, perverting them. Look at the rapes, and the sexual immorality,
and the filth on our TVs and our movies.
“Folks, the Death Angel may be moving right now across the planet,” he
added. “This is the time to get right with God.”
Pinning global disasters on people he dislikes is entirely in keeping with
his version of Christianity, which includes blaming “gay Nazis” for the
Las Vegas mass shooting and “the sexual perversion movement” for Hurricane
Harvey.
More recently, he’s proudly stated that the world would be a “better
place” after a “genocide” caused by vaccines wipes out 70 per cent of the
population.
“I am not going to be vaccinated,” the broadcaster told his audience last
month. “I’m going to be one of the survivors. I’m going to survive the
genocide.
“The only good thing that will come out of this is a lot of stupid people
will be killed off. If the vaccine wipes out a lot of stupid people, well,
we’ll have a better world.”
Perhaps anticipating the comments heading Rick Wiles’ way, TruNews has
said that eternal damnation will await anyone mocking Wiles’s affliction,
or suggesting that it’s ‘karma’.
“Already, the naysayers and mockers have started with their taunts,” the
channel’s website said. “Let them speak their foolish words and let them
mock. It will only serve to be used to fuel their flames of torment in
hell unless they repent.”
You have been warned.
