Bigoted Preacher Says He Wouldn't Vote For MTG Because 'She's A Woman': 'Get Back In The Kitchen!'

Jonathan Shelley, a preacher of the Stedfast Baptist Church in Hurst, Texas, who has previously made headlines for his extremist anti-LGBTQ+ views, declared that women should not be allowed to hold political office.

He went even further, saying he wouldn't even vote for Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene—a darling of the far-right who has used her own platform to promote conspiracy theories and hateful rhetoric of her own—because she's a woman.


During a recent sermon, Shelley expressed annoyance with the Republican Party because "Most of their recent candidates are women" and went on to target Greene specifically.

You can hear what Shelley said in the video below.

Shelley said:

“Why are we letting women teach us? Why are we letting women lead us?"
"You know the Republican Party seems doomed to me because while we’re kicking on the Democrats, let’s kick on the Republicans for a minute: Most of their recent candidates are women.”
"I’m thinking: ‘Joe Biden bad. A woman politician replacing him? Not better.'”
“I will never vote for a woman politician. Oh Major- Taylor Greene or whatever… Marjorie Taylor Greene! She’s a conservative! She’s on Infowars.'”
“It’s sick how many men today let women just run our country because they’re too cowardly to stand up to silly women."
"We need men to stand up and say, ‘Get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich!' And you know what? Some pastors need to tell their wives to do that.”

The video of Shelley's remarks quickly circulated online and many noted that it offered a striking example of the misogyny within the Republican Party.

So striking is this misogyny, in fact, that the far-right is willing to eat their own—even hardliners like Greene.



Funnily enough, Greene has made numerous remarks—especially misogynistic ones—that would likely be right at home within Shelley's congregation.

In May, Greene evoked a similarly ecclesiastical glee when she claimed that women choose to get abortions because Satan himself "whispers" that men will marry them if they do.

Greene issued the remark during an interview with Catholic activist Michael Voris, who produces catechetical and news videos and articles on the website Church Militant and has, like Shelley, been condemened by anti-hate groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Greene has also been regularly criticized for being one of the more openly anti-LGBTQ+ members of Congress, often using her platform to attack transgender people.

Shelley himself generated significant controversy this spring after he declared that LGBTQ+ people should be executed because "God has already ruled that murder, adultery, witchcraft, rape, bestiality and homosexuality are crimes worthy of capital punishment.”

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
