"The LGBTQ movement in the country is of the devil," Rapert said at the beginning of the 38-second clip, beginning his comments with an anti-trans slur. "That's right," one member of the congregation said, as others murmured in agreement. "Period. Of the devil," Rapert continued. "So you don't need to be supporting people or voting for people that do things of the devil.""
"There's no way a real Christian can do that," Rapert said, before looking at the camera. "I don't know if you're live-streaming this or not. I'm telling all of you today: you cannot be a Christian and vote for people that do the devil's work. You can't do it."
Rather than shy away from the public spotlight on his anti-LGBTQ+ comments, Rapert embraced the controversy in a post to X Twitter. "I am Jason Rapert and YES I endorse this message from my recent sermon," Rapert said in a post to X Twitter on Monday.
