I will never for the life of me understand what the appeal of idiots like this are. He sounds like someone who is insane to me, but then, so do most of Trump's supporters and Republicans these days. This is one we apparently missed, since it's a couple of months old, but, as The Tennessee Holler noted, in light of the fact that the Barbie movie is now Warner Bros. highest-grossing domestic release ever, it seems relevant to point out just how crazy these MAGA grifters are.

For anyone who is not already familiar with "pastor" Greg Locke, this guy is a real piece of work. He has attacked Biden while calling for a holy war. He's a lying anti-vaxxer who has spread lies about COVID vaccines. He went after Pence and called him a "Judas" for refusing to steal the election for Trump. He's spread conspiracy theories about supposed child trafficking tunnels under the White House.

And... it seems he's got no problem with shooting Democrats or members of the media he believes to be Democrats, and he was all-in with the insurrection, screaming that "Democrats haven't seen a real insurrection yet."

Apparently one of Locke's latest stunts was to take a baseball bat with a Bible taped around the end of it, and bash a Barbie dollhouse. I'm not really sure what purpose this serves other than to keep a bunch of rabid idiots worked into a frenzy about... whatever. Here's more from Protesta on the incident:

Pastor Greg Locke of Global Vision Bible Church offer congregants a very vivid sermon illustration during his June 14th midweek service, taping and zip-tying a bible to a baseball bat and then demolishing a doll house on screen.

Readers of Protestia will recognize Locke as the controversial Tennessee “pastor” who notoriously divorced his wife of two decades and quickly married his secretary, claimed that “Illuminati hand signals are controlling Mitch McConnell,” threatened a Dunkin’ Donuts worker with kicking his teeth down his throat, and said that if you deny the existence of tunnels under the White House or Capitol Building that were uncovered by the military and used to house both live and dead children, you’re just as complicit in the abuse as “crack-smoking perverts.”

Locke has been elbows deep in ‘deliverance ministry’ after a bunch of witches supposedly have been harassing his church and has partnered up with crackpot Isaiah Saldivar to help him get the problem under control.

Speaking on the topic of deliverance, Locke notes that after a demon is driven out and exorcised from a person, they still have strongholds inside of them that need to be torn down, lest the demons or even one’s own flesh moves right back in to inhabit those strongholds.

Then he gets the bat.

This is who Trump and his enablers are. Grifters who are more than willing to promote violence as long as it lines their pockets and keeps them out of jail. Here's to hoping to an end to this madness sooner and not later. I'm not sure how much more of this our democracy can survive.
