In what can only be described as a disturbing display of political fanaticism disguised as a sermon, Dr. Steve Caudle, a pastor at Greater Second Missionary Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, used his Sunday pulpit to deliver more than just Scripture—he delivered a call for violence.
Instead of focusing on the Gospel, Caudle took a detour from his sermon titled “The Violent Kingdom” to attack President Trump’s administration and, more specifically, Elon Musk for his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“No one likes violence, but sometimes violence is necessary,” Caudle preached. He went further, claiming, “When Elon Musk forces his way into the United States Treasury and threatens to steal your personal information and your social security check, there is the possibility of violence.”
Excuse me?
This isn’t just irresponsible—it’s inciting violence, plain and simple. Imagine for a second if a conservative pastor had said anything remotely similar about a Democrat leader. The FBI would’ve kicked down their door before the closing hymn.
But here’s the kicker: when given a chance to walk back his dangerous rhetoric, Caudle doubled down, even hiding behind Christianity to justify his words: “Well, someone might say, Reverend, you shouldn’t be talking about violence, this is the Christian thing to do. I say, well, why not talk this way because Jesus did.”
Newsflash, Pastor Caudle: Jesus didn’t promote violence—He preached about turning the other cheek, not throwing punches over budget cuts.
Of course, Elon Musk didn’t let it slide. Responding to the clip, Musk wrote:
“This tells me that he is trying to hide MASSIVE fraud.”
And he’s probably right. This type of over-the-top rage usually means someone’s got something to hide—especially when Musk’s DOGE team is uncovering billions in government waste.
Now the real question is: Where’s the FBI?
We’ve all seen how quickly the bureau swoops in when a conservative sneezes the wrong way, yet when an actual call for violence is made against Trump’s team—crickets.
This isn’t just a double standard. It’s a glaring example of how political bias has corrupted every level of discourse—even from the pulpit.
If we’re serious about stopping political violence, then it’s time to hold everyone accountable, no matter which side of the aisle they’re on.
