Jackson Lahmeyer Blames Kirk’s Death on Right Wing Watch, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, and ‘Left-Wing Influencers’
09/11/2025
by
In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, President Donald Trump and right-wing activists rushed to place the blame on "the left," despite the fact that very little is known about the person who shot Kirk and who currently remains at large.
In a video released on Wednesday evening, Trump faulted "those on the radical left" for Kirk's death, complaining that they compared conservatives to "Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals."
Trump’s declaration in the same video that “violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree” ignores the fact that Trump himself sets a standard for the MAGA movement’s relentless demonization of its political opponents. More specifically, the right has routinely likened Democratic and progressive leaders and activists to Hitler and Nazis for years, as Right Wing Watch pointed out on social media.
During a Wednesday night livestream, MAGA pastor Jackson Lahmeyer repeated Trump's charge.
"These people on the left have labeled people like Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, they have labeled them as Hitlers, as fascists, as racists," Lahmeyer said. "Let me tell you something: When you call people Hitler and when you call people fascist, if you really mean that, why would you be surprised that somebody goes out to kill a Hitler or to kill a fascist?"
"I believe the blood of Charlie Kirk is on the hands of the mainstream media and left-wing politicians who label Charlie Kirk a Hitler-like figure, a fascist-like figure," Lahmeyer continued. "If the left-wing media, if the left-wing politicians really believe that Charlie Kirk was Hitler and a fascist, they should be celebrating his death right now because Hitler was killed, a fascist was taken out. But they don't believe that. They know he's not Hitler. They know he's not a fascist. Yet they use that rhetoric to stir people up so that now you have a family, you have a wife and you have two children that tonight are going to go to bed without their husband or their father."
"The blood of Charlie Kirk is on the hands of Right Wing Watch, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, left-wing influencers that labeled him Hitler-esque," Lahmeyer declared.

Right Wing Watch, of course, never labeled Kirk as Hitler-esque or a Nazi; we generally report right-wing activists’ own words and actions.
But take one guess who has repeatedly likened his political enemies to Hitler and the Nazis and called them fascists:

AN 4 25
In hisEaster morning pos (https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114370361342759621)t earlier this month, President Donald Trump’s wished a happy holiday to “the Radical Left Lunatics … fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners." The president's post was criticized by many as being too divisive, but evangelicals supported the president's controversial message.
In an article published Monday (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/28/trump-evangelicals-christians), Guardian quoted Jackson Lahmeyer, the founder of the Pastors for Trump (https://www.alternet.org/2020/11/trump) organization who supported the president's Easter message, as saying: “You cannot unify with evil.”
Several white evangelical leaders continue to back Trump vigorously, even in light of what many consider to be violent and extremist rhetoric. Many people view this narrative as inappropriate for any religious event, especially one closely associated with themes of renewal, forgiveness, and peace.

"To evangelical leaders, that emphasis on Christian values stands in contrast to how they perceive the Biden administration’s actions, including in 2024 declaring 31 March Transgender Day of Visibility, the date when it had been celebrated since its creation in 2009, but last year fell – entirely coincidentally – on Easter Sunday," the Guardian article noted.

Brad Sherman, an Iowa pastor and Republican now running for governor, told Guardian: "Easter was barely mentioned."
That is not true.
The tradition of the annual White House Easter egg roll continued under Biden's presidency. In a statement made last Easter, the former president said: “As we gather with loved ones, we remember Jesus’s sacrifice … with wars and conflict taking a toll on innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to work for peace, security, and dignity for all people.”
This means that some of the evangelical support for Trump may be based on misinformation that Biden did not celebrate Christian traditions in the White House.
This year, Trump hosted an Easter prayer service and dinner attended by Lahmeyer, well-known pastors like Franklin Graham and Robert Jeffress, as well as his personal pastor, Paula White-Cain, who currently heads the White House faith office, among others.

Oklahoma pastor Jackson Lahmeyer was among the group of religious-right MAGA activists who were invited to attend an Easter dinner at the White House with President Donald Trump last week, where Lahmeyer reportedly had the "time of [his] life."
Lahmeyer, a Christian nationalist MAGA pastor and conspiracy theorist who launched a futile campaign for the U.S. Senate in 2022, appeared on X America News Tuesday night to gush about his experience at the White House. During the interview, Lahmeyer declared that Americans are rejoicing because "righteous" leaders are now in charge, especially after the previous four years under the presidency of Joe Biden, whom Lahmeyer claimed was a "wicked ruler" and "an instrument of God's judgment upon our nation."
"The Bible says that whenever the wicked rule, the people groan," Lahmeyer said. "And so for four years, Americans were just groaning. Right? Just groaning. But the Bible also says when the righteous rule, the people rejoice and we're entering into what you've heard said over and over and over again, a golden age."
"We're entering into a season that it seems as if Americans are going to experience tremendous prosperity, tremendous peace, tremendous victories," he continued. "Leadership matters. It really, really matters. And John Calvin once said that when God wants to judge a nation, he'll give them a wicked ruler. And I believe that Joe Biden was an instrument of God's judgment upon our nation, and it woke so many people up to the reality that our country is in trouble and we have made a massive turn around."

Not all former 'Trump pastors' appear to support his 2024 campaign

With Election Day one week away, the campaign for Republican nominee former President Donald Trump organized a self-titled “11th hour” meeting for faith leaders last Monday in Concord, N.C.
The event, featuring Trump, his son Eric Trump, retired neurosurgeon and former Trump administration Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, and other religious leaders, aimed to “mobilize the Christian vote, which is the largest vote in America,” Jackson Lahmeyer, founder of Pastors for Trump, told Raw Story.
“Our aim is to send all of these pastors back to their churches encouraged and willing to say to their congregation, now you gotta get out and vote in this election,” Lahmeyer said.
The Baker Institute for Public Policy at Rice University predicts that Christians, who make up two-thirds of Americans, may have an outsized influence in next month’s election. Of voters who frequently attend religious services, 59 percent of them cast their ballot for Trump in 2020, according to Pew Research Center.

During the event, Trump said his presidential run was the result of “God leading me to where I am today,” and he emphasized that “Americans of faith are not a threat to our country. Americans of faith are the soul of our country.”
As the election nears its final days, both Trump and his opponent, Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, have increased their campaign stops targeted at religious voters — with Trump’s campaign even painting the election as "spiritual warfare."
Harris attended church services and spoke at the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church near Atlanta a week ago. Trump criticized Harris as “very disrespectful to our Catholic community,” for not attending the Al Smith dinner in New York City, a high-profile fundraiser for Catholic charities, last week, NBC reported.
Trump has enlisted the support of pastors across the country—as many as 10,000, according to Lahmeyer—naming some to roles such as spiritual advisers and others to his various coalitions, boards and groups.
Raw Story compiled a list of Trump-affiliated faith leaders who’ve advised or supported his campaign over the years — some showing varying levels of public support, others stepping away.
Paula White
White is a televangelist and former senior pastor of City of Destiny church in Apopka, Fla., a historically Black congregation that transitioned to a mostly elderly white congregation under her leadership.
White has been a spiritual adviser to Trump for years. She delivered an invocation for Trump’s 2017 inauguration and advised his administration’s Faith and Opportunity initiative. White delivered prayers on Jan. 6, 2021 at a “Save America” rally in Washington, D.C., and she led his national faith advisory board starting in September 2021.
“As a friend, pastor, and faith adviser to President Trump for over 20 years, I've been able to witness President Trump's deep commitment to faith. And never more than after surviving the violent attack on his very life on July 13th,” White said in a press release in July announcing the campaign’s “Believers for Trump” coalition. “As president, he championed people of faith of every denomination and defended our religious freedoms with the belief that we worship God, not government."
White has appeared less in the public eye this election cycle, especially since Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee following President Joe Biden stepping away in July, Religion News Service reported in September.
Yet, Trump shouted her out at last Monday’s event, looking for her in the audience but said she was likely in the back “making phone calls, getting more people lined up for the vote.”
White also spoke at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference in June, sharing that Trump asked her about what God thought of his presidential candidacy.
“I said, ‘Sir … you’re going to be president one day,’” White allegedly said, but added, “I hate the price that you’re going to pay.
Mark Walker
A former U.S. representative, Walker, was facing a Republican primary runoff election in March against Trump-backed Addison McDowell in a race to represent North Carolina's 6th District.
Then Trump offered Walker a job directing the campaign’s outreach to faith groups and minority communities, prompting him to drop out of the race.
Walker, a former Baptist pastor, has made barely any public appearances since taking the job in March. He did not respond to Raw Story’s request for comment.
Jackson Lahmeyer
Lahmeyer, the founder of Pastors for Trump, said the group was supporting the campaign with last Monday’s event by inviting pastors to attend. While not officially affiliated with the Trump campaign, the group does outreach to pastors in all 50 states.
“Every pastor, whether they pastor a church of 70 people, 700 people or 7,000 people, they have influence,”Lahmayer told Raw Story. “If a pastor tells their congregation you should vote, odds are those members are going to listen to their pastor. That's the simple strategy, but it's very effective.”
Lahmeyer is the pastor of Sheridan Church in Tulsa, Okla, and lost his Republican Senate primary race to now-Sen. James Lankford (R-OK). He has participated in the ReAwaken America tour, founded by entrepreneur Clay Clark and former Trump national security advisor Michael Flynn, which has been known to push conspiracy theories, misinformation and election denialism.
Lahmeyer has been a vocal advocate of Christian nationalism, and his social media posts have supported conspiracy theorists and demonized Democrats, according to Rolling Stone.
“I will embrace Christian Nationalism because… we are at war in this country; it is a spiritual war between good and evil,” Laymeyer told Rolling Stone.
His posts have ranged from “Alex Jones did nothing wrong” to “Speaker Pelosi is a DEMON.”
Laymeyer also called members of the LGBTQ+ community demonic in June, LGBTQ Nation reported.
“The LGBTQXYZ+3 movement is a demonic-inspired movement. It’s totally demonic," Lahmeyere said.
Lahmeyer spoke out in July after the assassination attempt against Trump in Butler, Pa.
"What is our response?" Laymeyer told Fox 23 in Tulsa. "This is key. What's our response? Do we lash back? Try to get vengeance?"
Franklin Graham
Graham, the son of famed evangelist Billy Graham, spoke at last Monday’s event, leading the group in praying for Trump to win the election.
Graham said “dark forces” were at work against Trump and “encouraged President Trump that when he wakes up in the morning, that the first thing he does is to ask God for help, and if he does, God will hear and God will answer his prayer.”
Graham, president and CEO of Christian humanitarian organization Samaritan’s Purse, spoke with Axios in 2018 about why he supported Trump , despite the former president's alleged sexual misconduct and extramarital affairs.
"Trump has admitted his faults and has apologized to his wife and his daughter for things he has done and said. And he has to stand before God for those things,” Graham said.
Graham has recently taken issue with an ad from Evangelicals for Harris that used a clip of his late father, Newsweek reported.
“They are trying to mislead people. Maybe they don't know that my father appreciated the conservative values and policies of President @realDonaldTrump in 2016, and if he were alive today, my father's views and opinions would not have changed." Graham died in 2018 at the age of 99,” Graham posted.
Robert Morris
Morris, founding pastor of Texas megachurch Gateway Church, stepped down from the church in June after admitting to The Christian Post that he repeatedly sexually abused a 12-year-old girl in the 1980s.
Morris was a member of Trump’s evangelical advisory board for the 2016 election.
“When I was in my early twenties, I was involved in inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady in a home where I was staying. It was kissing and petting and not intercourse, but it was wrong. This behavior happened on several occasions over the next few years,” Morris said in a statement to The Christian Post.
Morris continued, “In March of 1987, this situation was brought to light, and it was confessed and repented of. I submitted myself to the Elders of Shady Grove Church and the young lady’s father. They asked me to step out of ministry and receive counseling and freedom ministry, which I did. Since that time, I have walked in purity and accountability in this area.”
Morris’ accuser Cindy Clemishire, told The Christian Post she was “appalled” that Morris said she was a “young lady” when he abused her.
“I was 12 years old. I was a little girl. A very innocent little girl. And he was brought into our home. He and his wife, Debbie, and their little boy, Josh, and trusted and preached at the church that my dad helped start and then began grooming all of us to do this, which took me decades to wrap my brain around as an adult,” Clemishire said.
Trump's campaign did not immediately respond to Raw Story's request for comment.

Pastors for Trump leader: “The Antichrist will be a political leader of Jewish descent. That is how the Jews will worship him.”
Written by Eric Hananoki
Published 10/10/24
Pastors for Trump leader Jackson Lahmeyer, a key Trump ally who has been visited by members of Trump’s inner circle, recently warned followers that a Jewish politician will be the Antichrist.
Lahmeyer stated: “The Antichrist will be a political leader of Jewish descent. That is how the Jews will worship him. The false prophet, I believe, will be an Islamic imam.”
Lahmeyer is a right-wing commentator and the pastor of Sheridan Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is the founder and leader of Pastors For Trump, which, as its name indicates, seeks “to continue to build the relationship between Christian leaders and President Trump during his bid for the Presidency.”
Lahmeyer has a history of making toxic remarks, including calling Vice President Kamala Harris a “lying whore”; claiming Democrats are “demonic”; and lobbing bigoted attacks at LGBTQ people, Jewish people, and Muslims.
He continued that pattern during a sermon that was posted online on October 8, which carries the headline “Revelation 13 | Verse-By-Verse | Antichrist + False Prophet | Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer.” During the sermon, Lahmeyer portrayed Jewish and Muslim people as a future threat to Christians:

CitationFrom an October 8, 2024, video by Jackson Lahmeyer
JACKSON LAHMEYER: This is the opinion of Jackson Lahmeyer. The Antichrist will be a political leader. This is just Jackson's opinion. The Antichrist will be a political leader of Jewish descent. That is how the Jews will worship him.
The false prophet, I believe, will be an Islamic imam. I believe that the false prophet will be an Islamic religious leader who will lead the people to worship the beast. That's just Jackson's opinion. And he will implement some form of one world religion, an Islamic caliphate. And if you do not take the mark, you will have your head chopped off.
There's only one group of people today that still chop off the heads of people, and that's radical Islamic extremists. And I believe they will implement that form of religion when the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is gone. So it's my opinion that the future Antichrist will have some form of a Jewish descent, that the false prophet will be an Islamic religious leader.
Lahmeyer is heavily tied to Team Trump

Lahmeyer recently hosted Donald Trump Jr. at his church. He is scheduled to host Eric Trump as well as Donald Trump's legal spokesperson Alina Habba next week.
He also said that he’s scheduled to speak at a pastors event with former President Trump in North Carolina on October 21, which is being organized by conspiracy theorist Clay Clark.
Lahmeyer has numerous other connections to Trump and his orbit:
- Trump called in to a prayer call with Lahmeyer last year.
- In 2021, when Lahmeyer was unsuccessfully running for Senate, he said that he “had the opportunity to talk to President Trump.” He added: “The President knows I am a strong ‘America First’ candidate.”
- Trump has repeatedly promoted Lahmeyer on Truth Social.
- Lahmeyer has spoken at Pastors for Trump events in May 2023 and October 2023 at Trump’s Doral property in Florida.
- Lahmeyer is scheduled to speak in North Carolina on the ReAwaken America tour with Eric Trump. The tour is organized by Clark, who has promoted the event as featuring “basically President Trump’s inner circle.”
- Lara Trump has spoken at Lahmeyer’s church.
- Rudy Giuliani has spoken at Lahmeyer’s church.
- Longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone has spoken at Lahmeyer’s church.
Ryan Walters, the controversy-laden Oklahoma school superintendent, is also connected to Lahmeyer.

Donald Trump Jr. is scheduled to appear at an Oklahoma church led by an extremist right-wing pastor and media figure who has referred to Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris as a “lying whore,” claimed that “Democrats have a demonic obsession with murdering babies,” and called Islam “the GREATEST threat to the Western Civilization.”
Jackson Lahmeyer, who is also a former congressional candidate, leads Sheridan Church in Tulsa. After Donald Trump Jr.'s September 19 appearance, Eric Trump and former President Donald Trump's legal spokesperson Alina Habba are both scheduled to appear at the church for an additional “special event” on October 10.
Lahmeyer is a pro-Trump pastor and commentator who founded the right-wing group Pastors for Trump, which holds events with MAGA media figures such as Michael Flynn and Roger Stone in support of Trump’s 2024 campaign. Under Lahmeyer’s leadership, Pastors for Trump has drawn “sharp rebukes from mainstream Christian leaders for being extremist, distorting Christian teachings and endangering American democracy by fueling the spread of Christian nationalism,” as reported by The Guardian.
In 2022, Lahmeyer ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination in Oklahoma for U.S. Senate.
Lahmeyer now frequently appears in right-wing media to promote Pastors for Trump and provide political commentary. On Steve Bannon’s War Room last year while promoting an upcoming Pastors for Trump event, Lahmeyer declared that he's a “Christian nationalist” and said he wears the label as “a badge of honor.”
Lahmeyer has spread vitriolic rhetoric in right-wing media interviews, social media posts, and online sermons, claiming Democrats are under the influence of Satan or demons; pushing bigotry toward LGBTQ people, Jewish people, and Muslims; and attacking the vice president in sexist terms. Lahmeyer has said that “Islam has been and remains the GREATEST threat to the Western Civilization,” suggested that “Democrats have a demonic obsession with murdering babies,” and called the LGBTQ movement “a demonic-inspired movement.”
In addition to calling Harris a “lying whore,” Lahmeyer has repeatedly referred to “304,” a slang term for “hoe,” when discussing the vice president.
Lahmeyer has been scheduling an array of extreme speakers at his Oklahoma church, including far-right media figures Jonathan Cahn and Perry Stone.
Cahn is a so-called “doomsday prophet” who has claimed that the Bible predicted Donald Trump’s 2016 election and declared that President Joe Biden put the United States under “demonic possession” by lighting up the White House in the colors of the rainbow for LGBTQ Pride. Cahn is slated to appear at Sheridan on February 26.
Stone is a right-wing pastor and streamer who has declared that Democrats who oppose Trump “have demons in them” and prophesied that God will strike America with a tsunami as punishment for abortion. Stone spoke at Sheridan Church’s “Ignite” conference on September 8, apparently speaking about “What Will Happen Before The Tribulation.”
Donald Trump Jr. is set to join Lahmeyer as a “special guest” at his church on September 19.
Eric Trump and Donald Trump's legal spokesperson Alina Habba are both scheduled to join Lahmeyer at his church for an additional “special event” on October 10.
GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance recently drew scrutiny for holding an event at a church led by a pastor who “claims … women who seek divorce after abuse are defying God's word,” per MSNBC reporting.
Since Trump left office, he and his allies — including his sons and Habba — have increasingly engaged with and embraced extreme right-wing Christian media, especially programs that assert Trump has “the anointing” from God.
