Republicans across the country are not taking their historic midterm beatdown in stride, and according to a recent report from Right Wing Watch, a notably MAGA-linked pastor has taken his despair a step further, calling for “another January 6.”
Lorenzo Sewell is the leader of 180 Church, a non-denominational Christian church based in Detroit, and has become increasingly connected with GOP and MAGA politics in the last several years. In 2024, he was a guest speaker at the Republican National Convention, and in 2025, he conducted one of the benedictions at Trump’s second-term inauguration. Recently, reports have even suggested that he is considering running for public office himself as a Republican.
Right Wing Watch’s report this week also described Sewell as “an ardent stolen election conspiracy theorist whose obsession with exposing alleged voter fraud has become too extreme even for the Trump White House.” Now, his rejection of election results that are unflattering to Republicans and the MAGA movement has continued, as during an appearance on the “FlashPoint” podcast after the midterm blue wave, he once again called the elections fraudulent and suggested Trump’s followers should rise up against them.
Sewell’s argument for why fraud must have taken place in the midterms echoed the common right-wing misconception about elections, often lampooned with the phrase “land doesn’t vote.” Often, conservatives might share electoral maps of certain states with more counties colored red, and argue that this must be an indication that the state should elect Republicans in state-wide races, despite the fact that Democrats tend to win counties that are more heavily populated, giving them the edge.
…
That deserves an arrest for incitement.
Exactly what I was thinking
MAGA pastor calls for violence and intolerance. More news at 11.
Excuse me, Lorenzo, or may I call you Tom?
But really, what are you meant to January 6th? Every single government building in the US? What an idiot
Down to, what, every post office in the country? That’s going to take all damn day.
“Apparently unable to understand the concept of population density, Sewell insisted that states like Texas, Michigan, and Ohio are red states and therefore could not have possibly elected Democrats,” the report explained.
“Out of 83 counties in Michigan, [Republican gubernatorial candidate] John James won 69 of them,” Sewell declared. “Do you know that even [Democratic Senate candidate James] Talarico, he won—watch this—he only won 31 counties? There’s over 204 counties in Texas. In [Republican Ohio Senate candidate Jon] Husted and [Democratic Senate candidate Sherrod] Brown, Brown only won 16 counties. There’s 88 counties in Ohio.”
Another bright bulb from the conservatives…
So, felonious terroristic threats, then.
Is he asking for more ANTIFA provacateurs to infiltrate a peaceful protest? I honestly havent checked in on the conservative J6 narrative in some time
I just saw one of them saying it was antifa on The Good Liars.
So at least a few of them are still telling what is surely a blue lie (not a really coherent one, though, since they also think donnie won an election. Why antifa would protest that is not something they seem able to explain) about J6 being done by antifa…but I strongly suspect most of the bullshit tales conservatives tell each other are a web of blue lies.
It really shouldn’t surprise me how easy it is to mask mental illness inside a religious context.
If MAGA wants to storm the capital and hang the vice president this January I’m okay with it. They should also storm the white house, that will teach those democrats.
Dumbass doesn’t know Congress isn’t sworn in on Jan 6
Broadcasting treason seems like a foolish move
They got pardoned the first time. Wouldn’t surprise me if they go for it a second.
Wait which is it. His implied Jan 6 or the peaceful demonstration the same people keep claiming Jan 6 was
It’s Schrodinger’s January 6th
If by “another Jan 6” he means “more arrests and convictions for anyone threatening and committing acts of violence under the pretext of ‘muh, the elections were rigged because my side can’t lose’” - well, I’m all for it.
