On an Oct. 23, 2024 livestream[…]Joel Webbon condemned Martin Luther King Jr. and declared that the civil rights movement “destroyed our culture”[…]
During the livestream, titled “The Dark Knights of Christendom,” Webbon and his usual co-hosts, Wesley Todd and Michael Belch, boasted that their extreme rhetoric[…]has inspired more mainstream conservatives to adopt their positions
“When I was talking — when we were talking — about repealing the 19th Amendment, maybe that was a bad idea, there was way more pushback,” Webbon recalled. “Now, a ton of people — I mean, it is already changing where people [are] like ‘Yeah, you know what, maybe women shouldn’t vote'”
He suggested that this influence might extend to other extremist positions, such as their hatred of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr[…]
“Well, same thing, Charlie Kirk would be an example. Multiple guys coming out and saying Martin Luther King Jr. is not the hero that we want,” Webbon said
Citing white nationalist John Doyle, Webbon then compared Martin Luther King Jr. to George Floyd[…]and mockingly suggested that decades from now people will refer to themselves as “George Floyd conservatives[…]
“He was not a good man, and civil rights, that movement, has destroyed our culture,” Webbon said. “And for those of you who want a longer form argument, not just the Joel Webbon short version, read Age of Entitlement by Christopher Caldwell, and see what the Civil Rights Act, what that did to our constitution and to our government”
Webbon also expressed hope that “we will, by the grace of God, get to a point where we’re able, the average normie — not even Christian normie, but just normal person in America — will look back and say ‘Yeah, Civil Rights Act was a disaster. Can’t believe we did that.’ That’ll be amazing”
When his co-host, Wesley Todd, called for replacing Martin Luther King Day with a holiday honoring Confederate general “Stonewall” Jackson, Webbon replied “Amen”
