A right-wing evangelical pastor has claimed the coronavirus is God's 'death angel' and says parents 'transgendering little children' and 'the filth on our TVs and our movies' are to blame for the outbreak.
Christian Pastor Rick Wiles, who is the creator of the TruNews streaming channel, described China as having a 'godless communist government,' in an attempt to explain why the country had been hit so badly by the virus.
He noted, 'plagues are one of the last steps of judgment' and warned Americans to 'get right with God.'
The deadly coronavirus has left 131 people dead, with confirmed infections at around 5,568 across the world.
The virus has spread across China and to at least 16 countries globally.
Five people have been confirmed to have the virus in the United States. All of those infected had all recently returned from Wuhan.
The new coronavirus is thought to have emerged from illegally traded wildlife at a seafood market in Wuhan.
On Tuesday, China agreed for WHO to send international experts to the country as soon as possible to help understand the virus and guide global response efforts.

Megachurch? quite frankly I’ve never heard of the guy until now
Wow. We must not be very bad at all of God just want to give us the flu as punishment.
Pastors should not pretend to be G-d.
Pastors say lots of crazy things. One wonders why the media would even find this noteworthy.
Why is he called “right wing?”
Because it makes Christians look like whack jobs.
Muslim clerics say this type of stuff all the time but you never see the British tabloids breathlessly report on it. /spit.
To make conservative Christian look like whack jobs.
blames “Jewish cabal” for the impeachment according to the story...
interesting that there is no mention of where this supposed megachurch is located..
Why not? Everyone else does.
As for the corona virus which has killed 110 so far......The regular old FLU killed 80,000 in the U.S. last year.
He may very well say that. I wouldn’t want to comment...
This may be the comment that got their attention.
“Megachurch?”
What megachurch?
Isn't that like condemning all Catholics because a Priest molests a child ?
Who knows? He may be right. Locusts in Africa???
...with God, ALL things are POSSIBLE. (Matthew 19:26)
Not saying I think this guy got a divine word from God on this, just that to totally dismiss it out of hand, is foolish.
“interesting that there is no mention of where this supposed megachurch is located..”
Interesting that there isn’t a mention of a megachurch!
He runs TRUNEWS channel. Should alert anyone who posts info from that channel that it is run by an ass.
