White Evangelicals Brand Kamala Harris a ‘Jezebel’

Ever since Kamala Harris became the Democratic presidential nominee, white evangelical leaders have thundered from the pulpit that she’s a Jezebel who’s in league with the devil. With the election less than a month away, they have doubled down on their vile religious rhetoric, painting her as an emissary of the devil.

“Jezebel” is the go-to word for evangelicals for any woman who is confident in her sexuality, embraces her inherent strength, doesn’t reflexively defer to men, especially if she is a liberal woman of color.

Harris is white evangelicals’ worst nightmare: a female presidential candidate with the experience, wisdom, courage and potential to become a great president.

They’re cognizant that Trump is no match for her intellectually or ethically, and so they try to build up their authoritarian monster by demonizing Harris.

They are oblivious to the irony that it’s Trump who is evil incarnate, and that he’s the male equivalent of a Jezebel.

I’m convinced that the spirt of secularism, democracy and truth will prevail over the spirit of Jezebel that is alive and well in Trump’s Republican Party.
