Meet MAGAt David Lynn Richards Jr., a prominent East Tennessee church pastor who led My Father's House Church of God in Lenoir City. Before his religious standing completely crumbled, he was hit with severe felony charges including rape, incest, and sexual battery by an authority figure. The state's investigation began after the victim, Richards' own adopted daughter, bravely came forward to a school counselor to reveal the systematic abuse. The prosecution established that the sexual assaults began in December 2011, when the victim was just 14 years old, and deliberately continued for two consecutive years under his roof. At the time the abuse began, Richards was living with his wife; they had taken in the victim and three biological siblings as foster children in 2008 before legally adopting them. However, during the course of the investigation and subsequent fallout, the couple separated and later divorced. As investigators closed in, Richards desperately attempted to cover his tracks by factory-resetting household iPhones and stripping the bedding, but forensic teams still recovered his DNA directly from the frame of the victim’s bed. Following the trial, a Knox County jury convicted Richards on nine felony counts. He was taken into custody on February 11, 2019, to serve a 12-year prison sentence—a outcome that sparked widespread public outrage and an online petition demanding the removal of the trial judge because prosecutors had actively pursued a maximum consecutive penalty of up to 66 years. Despite the public backlash over the lenient sentencing, the penalty was officially upheld by the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals on September 11, 2024.

🚨A self-styled South Carolina MAGA “pastor” who accused Obama of being a p*dophile and Joe Biden of being a “s*xual predator” has been arrested for allegedly r*ping a child under the age of 11 on numerous occasions. Tracy Gordon Black, 64, of Pelzer, was arrested on four counts of first-degree criminal s*xual conduct with a minor under 11 (sexual battery under South Carolina law), plus third-degree s*xual exploitation of a minor and possession of visual depictions of a minor engaged in s*xual activity. He’s being held without bond. The charges stem from alleged assaults on the same child under 11 and possession of child s*xual abuse material (including doctored images). The investigation remains active. Black is a self-proclaimed pastor who led an independent outdoor worship group (also called Mobile Outreach Ministry, Mercy Outreach Ministry, or Sabbath In the Park/Sabbath In The Dark) that met at Mineral Springs Park in Williamston. Earlier this year he publicly defended the group after it was revealed a registered s*x offender was participating in the services; the park was temporarily closed amid protests. He told officials they were simply “trying to offer the love Jesus Christ offered.” A Facebook account confirmed to belong to Black (Bigdeck Black) has previously shared a thoroughly debunked 2017 fake-news story claiming WikiLeaks proved Obama ran a p*dophile ring out of the White House. Black also promoted The Turner Diaries (the neo-Nazi novel by National Alliance founder William Pierce) as a banned book that “predicted the future,” posted QAnon material (WWG1WGA), and shared conspiracy claims about missing-children milk cartons being a “satanic cabal” advertising kids to p*dophiles—along with the usual MAGA historical revisionism insinuating Lincoln is worse than with Hitler. A man who spent years amplifying baseless p*dophile conspiracies about political opponents is now facing serious charges involving a child under 11. The hypocrisy writes itself. It’s the same story, over and over again.
