President Donald Trump's spiritual advisor, Paula White, has made some odd claims before, but a recent one is taking the cake.
Around the time that Trump became the first sitting President to address the annual anti-abortion March for Life, a video showed White praying to God with a downright bizarre request.
Watch below.
“We command all satanic pregnancies to miscarry right now” — Special Adviser to the White House Faith and Opportuni… https://t.co/XWWNb1RMyg— Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons (@Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons) 1579993837.0
White said:
"In the name of Jesus, we command all satanic pregnancies to miscarry right now. We declare that anything that has been conceived in satanic wombs that it miscarry. It will not be able to carry forth any plan of destruction."
It's unclear exactly what White meant by "satanic pregnancies" and "satanic wombs," but many took her at her word: That people she believes God to deem evil should suffer a miscarriage.
White later claimed on Twitter that this wasn't the case.
I don't normally respond but clearly this has been taken out of context. I was praying Eph 6:12 that we wrestle not… https://t.co/O2ah1ZNNyM— Paula White-Cain (@Paula White-Cain) 1580053007.0

White claimed that she was speaking metaphorically, but people weren't absolving her.
No pregnancies are satanic. Every child is a gift from God. No one should ever pray for any woman to miscarry. No o… https://t.co/THMMxJrxIp— James Martin, SJ (@James Martin, SJ) 1580048241.0

So... what exactly is the proper context for discussing the miscarriage of satanic pregnancies? https://t.co/jyxrtRfmI1— DP Cummerbund (@DP Cummerbund) 1580084954.0

To some, White's stance highlighted the hypocrisy of many so-called pro-lifers.

Wait a sec. So all you have to do for abortion to be okay is to call it a SATANIC pregnancy? https://t.co/Gr0KIG53CY— random facts girl (@random facts girl) 1580005908.0
White has previously bragged that when she walks on White House grounds, God does too. According to White, the President loves her so much, he previously sought to build a glass megachurch for her.
God has yet to comment on White's words.
