Christian author and political commentator Eric Metaxas who we last featured after he sucker-punched a passing Antifa protester in the summer of 2020 and then claimed last year that Christian leaders who don’t talk about Hunter Biden’s laptop or the ‘January 6 hoax’ should be compared to cowardly German pastors who stayed silent during the holocaust during WW2, is seen in a newly unearthed video praising drag queen Charles Busch, noting he is a big fan and lamenting that Milo Yianopolous will never be aware of their “genius.” Charles Busch in drag
Metaxas: “I was just asking whether Milo knew who Charles Busch was, and (another unintelligible drag queen name) and I’m, you know, fans of theirs, and what a pity that this young generation is unaware of their genius. I’m not kidding!”
Yiannopoulos: “I know ‘Divine’, the scatological one.”
Metaxas: “‘Divine’ is distressing, don’t ever bring that up again.”
Yiannopoulos: “But you will be at least reassured that my drag icon is (unintelligible name)”
Metaxas: “Alright, that’s not bad.”
According to a profile in Metrosource, Busch is a “playwright, actor, director, novelist, cabaret performer, and drag icon” who made an “indelible splash onto the scene in New York in the mid-’80s with his play Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, an unlikely hit that became one of the longest-running plays in the history of Off-Broadway.” This success “ignited the audience’s love affair with Busch, making his drag famous (or infamous) on a mainstream level with no one doubting the man in a wig as a bonafide starlet.”
Metaxas recently joined the advisory board of Christian video streaming platform Loor.
No, I don’t know who he is.
I ate a hot dog for lunch. Shouldn’t have but I did.
Regular or foot long?
I liked the Metaxas biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It brought out many overlooked Bonhoeffer quotations such as “Do not try to make the Holy scripture relevant...its relevance is inherent.”
Apparently, Metaxas wants his popularity more than recounting the Bibles clear message about the truth of mankind. Too bad. It appears there are lots of phony “media” types who do conservative or even Christian “content” who may not be true followers of Jesus the Christ. Shame on him and them.
Narrow is the way, and few are those who find it.
Well, someone here knows who he is. I take it he was not always doing stuff like this?
No, these quotations are not in character. They are very disappointing if accurate.
Nope, but he probably digs Jesuits…
I’ve decided to become a Pagan Viking.
Yes...he writes good books...this seems weird for him
Know of him, yes.
Very charming, clever and intelligent. Unique and inventive in his presentation, especially when conducting long-form interviews with others (most or all of whom are similarly intelligent and accomplished). Not perfect with analysis/conclusions but he at least lays out his reasoning cogently.
He is an inveterate imp. The content of this story seems to show that he can’t help but express his admiration for creativity in a person when he sees it or perceives it. This time it may cost him.
Normally he is capable of being influenced in a positive way.
This is some sort of media report, I would discount it as slurring.
Yes. I think he’s been trusted up until now. Either John MacArthur, Jack Higgs, or Skip Heitzig featured one of his books recently. My memory isn’t clear. I’m hoping that Metaxes was tongue in cheek, and that that hadn’t been caught.
There is a video on the link. You can watch him saying it. He’s with some drag queen getting ready for a show.
There is a video on the link. Here is the twitter link to watch it
Even seen at a distance, drag queens are nauseating for normal men. And that is an understatement.
Never heard of him either, but from the sound of his antics, I’ll bet you $100 he is revealed as a homo before too long.
Agreed. I’m thinking this may have been taken out of context. Or perhaps he was being sarcastic or ironic.
He’s full of crap. That’s all you need to know.
Yeah. My folks watch stuff where he’s a guest sometimes.
