Jack Hibbs—a far-right anti-LGBTQ pastor, conspiracy theorist, and Christian nationalist who was once invited by House Speaker Mike Johnson to deliver a prayer to the House of Representatives—used his most recent podcast to declare that "Lindsay Clancy killed her babies because Satan was allowed to have his way."
Hibbs said that Clancy, a Massachusetts woman charged with killing her three children whose case recently ended in a mistrial, was evidence that "demons are running loose in this country because we've invited them in, as a culture."
"We live in a post-Christian nation that is literally demonically energized and under demonic sway," Hibbs declared, highlighting a law recently enacted in Massachusetts that allows an abortion to be performed based solely "upon the professional judgment of the physician" and the patient.
"I'm controlling myself right now," Hibbs fumed. "Ladies and gentlemen, you are seeing me doing the best to control myself right now. I'm trying to walk in the spirit at this moment. The governor of Massachusetts, [Maura] Healey, she signed legislation to strengthen the protection for abortionists and those involved in an abortion, including the mother."
"When she signed the law that you can kill a baby at birth—from conception to birth—she signed the bill and then on TV, she had a bunch of murderers behind her," he continued. "A couple of them have white coats on. That kind of white; there's white and then there's off-white and then there's what I call Nazi white. That's Nazi white. Nazi white is the kind of white that looks so educated and professional. 'I've got a white gown on, a white robe. I am a healthcare professional.' Well, it depends on what side of the blade you're on."
"When that governor signed that murder law into existence," Hibbs added, "Heaven watched that happen. Angels watched that happen. I'm trying to control myself right now. But can you imagine the angels? I wonder if there were angels holding back [other] angels from slicing that governor's head off. Because someday it's going to happen. I mean, you know when Jesus comes back, according to Jesus, she's in some some hot water, to say the least."
