Clad in a “colonial preachers robe” meant to the emulate the apocryphal “Black Robe Regiment” that supposedly rallied the colonists to rebel against England during the American revolution, Hibbs said he only breaks out the garb in “times of tyranny.”
We are in just such a time right now, said Hibbs, prompting him to deliver a rather strange sermon in which he called for pastors to keep a “sacrificial basin of blood” on the pulpit from which they will anoint their own toe and right ear, in reference to the injury Trump received from the shooting.
“Mr. President, if you’re watching this right now, your right ear was bloodied,” Hibbs declared. “We would like to pledge and pray that you might bow your knee before the Lord Almighty and say, ‘Not only did God do this’—because I know, Mr. President, you said that today that ‘God protected me’—but who is God? Mr. President, who is he? What’s his name? You’ve heard it for years. It’s time to bow the knee.”

Earlier this year House Speaker Mike Johnson invited Hibbs to deliver the opening invocation in the US House, resulting in a furious letter from dozens of Democrats due to Hibbs’ history of virulently anti-semitic and anti-LGBTQ statements and his declared support for Christian nationalism. Hibbs responded to the uproar by labeling his critics as “literal cancers” like Hitler and Marx.
Christian nationalist pastor Jack Hibbs then addressed Trump directly from the pulpit, telling him that the shooting was “a warning by Almighty God” that he must publicly “bow the knee” and commit himself to Jesus. https://t.co/UP1lJ6YR8b pic.twitter.com/yCDC5441wb
