Harlem Hate Pastor: Supreme Court Manipulated By Gay Lovers on the 'DL'
EDGE READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Just when you think Reverend James David Manning aka the "Harlem Hate Pastor" can't top himself, he goes ahead and does it.
Following a long stream of outrageous anti-LGBT statements that have run the gamut from "Starbucks uses sodomite semen in their coffee" to "Justin Bieber is a transgender man who cut off his breasts," the notorious Harlem hate pastor has come up with a new one. His latest claim is that the five justices of the United States Supreme Court who voted for marriage equality are all being blackmailed by same-sex lovers. Right Wing Watch reports.
Speaking with end times preacher Rick Wiles on the TruNews radio program, Manning claimed that the Devil was responsible for the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges. He took particular aim at the high court's swing vote Justice Anthony Kennedy.
"This man who wrote the opinion and gave the swing vote legalized same-sex unions in defiance of what the word of God says. ... For the Supreme Court to do that is nothing short of the fact that Devil himself has written this opinion and has gotten into the lives of people and I suspect that perhaps Kennedy and many of those on the Supreme Court have had sodomite relations themselves." Manning said.
Manning then referred to anti-gay preacher Ted Haggard, who was outed in 2006 by a male prostitute for having gay sex under the influence of crystal methamphetamine, to back up his claim.
"I suspect that many of these justices are having things done so they have to support this sodomy. They've got to do something or they get exposed." He claimed.
Manning's ATLAH Worldwide Ministry Church located in Harlem has been designated an anti-gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The fringe ministry first came to national attention when the message "Obama has released the homo demons on the black man. Look out black women. A white homo may take your man," was posted on the sign outside of the church. The group's leader Pastor James David Manning has called for gays and lesbians to be stoned.
