Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in California has become best known for denying reality.

In May, for example, he denied the seriousness of COVID and argued that two months of abiding by lockdown orders was enough and churches should go back to meeting in person despite the threat of the virus.

He has also claimed that Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, a Baptist, isn’t truly Christian.
