Pete Buttigieg’s brother-in-law accused the Democratic presidential candidate of disingenuously using his faith to further a political agenda.
During an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Rhyan Glezman, who pastors a small-town Michigan church, blasted Buttigieg for asserting there was not “any compatibility” between Christianity and support for President Trump.
“The height of intellectual dishonesty for Pete to make claims that there’s no compatibility with being a Christian and voting for Trump, which Pete, in fact, is the one who is pushing agendas and rhetoric that is clearly against Scripture,” Glezman said. “You played that clip from The View, and I’m just in a state of lament when you hear that we have someone running for commander in chief who can’t make a moral decision on whether to keep a child after it’s already been born or to have it killed.”
Carlson asked Glezman if abortion is consistent with Christian doctrine, to which Glezman responded, “Absolutely not.” Glezman then implored Buttigieg to read specific sections in the Bible and accused him of holding positions “completely against the word of God” and utilizing “anti-God” rhetoric.

“I encourage Pete, and everyone in America, to read Psalm 139:13-16, where God says in his word that every single person is ‘fearfully and wonderfully made’ in the image of God. Go to Jeremiah 1:5, where it talks about God knew us before we were ever in our mother’s womb,” he said.
Carlson ended his interview by wishing Glezman “good luck next Thanksgiving.”
