With the continued outpour of conspiracy theories about why Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election, homophobic activist Scott Lively might have the wildest one of all. In a video obtained by LGBTQ Nation via Rightwing Watch, Lively made the bold claim that the former president was removed from office by God's will for being too supportive of the LGBTQ community. "[Trump] defied God on a fundamental tenet of the Bible and never repented of it," Lively stated in an appearance on radio program Swamp Warriors. "If Donald Trump was, as I believe, God's man in the White House for four years, why did God not preserve it? Because if God had given him favor, nothing that mankind could have done could have removed him from that office." More specifically, Lively bemoaned Trump's appointment of Richard Grenell, the former acting Director of National Intelligence and the first openly gay person to serve in an executive cabinet position. Even though Lively said he would remember Grenell as a loyal Trump ally, he quickly added that the former president's support of an openly gay man was the reason why God stripped him of his presidency.
