MAGA pastor Brian Sauvé called for "rebellious" Black men to be executed according to biblical standards during a recent podcast interview, according to a new report.
Right Wing Watch reported Monday that Sauvé suggested state authorities should kill Black men, according to the law prescribed in Deuteronomy 21 of the Christian Bible. The passage says parents should take a rebellious child to the center of town and have the community elders stone them to death for being "a glutton and a drunkard."
Sauvé made the comments on a recent episode of "The King's Hall" podcast, which he co-hosts with Christian nationalist preacher Eric Conn. Sauvé and Conn both preach at Refuge Church in Utah, according to the report.
"When we make this generalization, one of the purposes of it is for policymakers to make the kind of political movements in terms of law and order that would usher in the change over time of that culture," Sauvé said during the podcast episode.
"One of them would be something like ... the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 21 concerning a rebellious child."
"If you take that and then you took a law like Deuteronomy 21, which is a just law that got enacted through Moses; the law was that if you had a rebellious son, you have a child who's coming up into their manhood and they're rebellious, they don't listen—he lists some characteristics—and even though they're disciplined, they will not turn, he says the father is to bring them out into the town square, this is a rebellious son, and then they stone him to death," he continued. "They kill him."
Conn said that an "armed robber" would seemingly fall into that category.
"Armed robber, all the ghetto culture; basically, take ghetto culture, it would describe this to a T," Sauvé said. "If you did that over three generations, how much violent crime would you have in the third and fourth generation? Much, much less."
