Last night, “respected prophet” Cindy Jacobs hosted a voter mobilization conference call featuring right-wing pseudo-historian David Barton to discuss “the significant role women can play in elections and impacting the nation.”

Barton’s remarks consisted largely of the typical talking points that he has been using in recent weeks to try and convince reluctant Christians that they must vote for Donald Trump in November, including doubling down on his belief that Trump must be “God’s guy” in the election because he won so many Republican primaries in which conservative Christians voted.

When a caller asked for advice on how to respond to Christians who say they cannot vote for someone like Trump because of his ungodly lifestyle and behavior, Barton dismissed those concerns as little more than people looking for excuses in order to avoid their responsibility to vote. Citing wicked leaders from the Bible whom God used for good, as well as godly leaders in the Bible who displayed various personal failings, Barton declared that Christians do not have a choice about whether or not they are going to vote because God has commanded them to do so and therefore they must vote for the candidate who is going to promote policies that most closely align with the Bible.

In this case, that is Donald Trump and Barton knows that Trump is God’s candidate of choice based on the fact that so many Christians voted for him in the Republican primaries.

“God doesn’t always think the way we do,” Barton said. “The leaders he chooses, the people he calls his servants are often people that would not fit our paradigm, not by a long shot. But I will point out, I have no clue what’s in store for America but I guarantee you God knows what we’re going to need 16 months from now, 23 months from now, 47 months from now and it may be somebody that, if we Christians had picked and gotten our heart’s desire, would not have been competent for what’s coming. I have to believe that with the highest recorded turnout, particularly in primaries and as many evangelicals as voted, that not all of them missed hearing from God. They chose people that we would probably not choose as our first choice. It doesn’t matter. God’s people showed up and voted in record amounts in this election and I’ve got to believe that God used them to guide us to what we have as our final few choices now.”

“So get on board, you’re going to vote,” Barton concluded. “Now figure out who you are going to vote for and quit making excuses.”
