He went on to say his version of Jesus would tell Caitlyn Jenner she looks “like your daddy, the Devil.”
Last week, Vaughn, the co-founder of First Harvest Ministries in Mississippi, warned his followers that COVID-19 vaccines “are gonna quit working” until the nation repents for abortion and sodomy.
“These vaccines are gonna quit working in every corner until this nation falls to her knees and repents for dead babies and repents for the sodomy of this nation!” he intoned.
Doctors have found no link between sodomy, abortion rates, and vaccine effectiveness.
In 2009, Vaughn was arrested and charged with insurance and bank fraud. He served three years in prison and became religious while surrounded by men he saw naked on occasion. After his release, he founded a church that mixes Pentecostal beliefs with orthodox Jewish commandments.
“We have some very unorthodox beliefs,” he said in an interview with a religious media outlet after he first went viral for prophesying in 2020 that Donald Trump would be installed for a second term despite losing the election.
