Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson, a frequent Fox News guest, thinks one of the greatest mistakes America has ever made was allowing women the opportunity to vote. In his sermon entitled “How Most Women are Building a Shameless Society,” that went viral on YouTube back in March, he defends his position by saying “they’re voting in people who are evil.” Peterson, who’s appeared on Sean Hannity’s show, has made past controversial statements, such as thanking God for slavery because ‘it brought Africans to live in the greatest country in the world. The Huffington Post:

A frequent Fox News guest has drawn wide condemnation for saying women should have never been given the right to vote.

In a sermon that was posted on YouTube in March, Rev Jesse Lee Peterson said women are leading the United States down a path of wickedness because they have too much political power.

Fox News host Sean Hannity has invited Rev Peterson on his show several times, including after the video was posted, and sits on the board of the conservative activist’s organization.
