Jack Hibbs on voting and sitting out the midterms
“Ladies and gentlemen, those of you who didn’t vote, you voted!” Hibbs told his congregation. He argued that Christians who chose to sit out should take responsibility for that choice.
In the same remarks, Hibbs cited a figure of 255 Muslims elected to office. He also claimed that Islam forbids Muslims from swearing allegiance to the U.S. Constitution. The WND excerpt quotes Hibbs’s claim without providing evidence for it.
