John Hagee blamed Hurricane Katrina on gay people and claimed in a late 1990s sermon that the Nazis had operated on God's behalf to chase the Jews from Europe and Hitler was a hunter sent by God to shepherd them to Palestine.

He's claimed that the Pope is the Antichrist, and that the Catholic church is "the beast", "the great whore" and "the apostate church".

He's said the Jews have made a deal with the Antichrist for the coming end times, and that 9/11 was the judgment of God on our country since America did not obey the law of God.

Hagee also claimed the 2008 financial crisis was divine retribution.

So you'll have to forgive my eyeroll and uncontrollable laughter if he's mentioned in any serious context.
