Jack Hibbs says conservative pundits with big platforms, fame, and microphones should stop speaking on topics in which they have no expertise. Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up.

Here is Jack Hibbs on people “qualified” to speak on this or that topic in the news:

Hibbs says:

  • “Influencers” should stay within their “wheelhouse” or their “place of expertise”
  • “Influencers” and conservative commentators have “fallen for a trick” that they have “expertise” in something that they know little about.
  • Too many conservative commentators engage in “commentary” and “opinion they have not studied.
  • “Just because your famous or just because you have a microphone, doesn’t mean that you’re qualified to speak about” particular topics” (in this case Israel).

Jack Hibbs is the Christian Right pastor with a large following. He has a microphone. He is famous. And he has a lot of opinions about things he knows very little about. Let’s, for example, take American history.

From the archives: Jack Hibbs dabbles in American history and it is a disaster. We need another Dudley Rutherford moment

Virtually every thing Jack Hibbs says in this video about Washington at Valley Forge is wrong

Jack Hibbs should take his own advice about commentators staying in their lanes. (I would love to hear his take on the “Appeal to Heaven” shirt he is wearing in this video.)

  1. Agreed on taking his own advice. However, he is also right about those pontificating on Israel.
