https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/29/michael-tait-christian-rock-star-sexual-assault-allegationsTwo more men have come forward to accuse Christian rock superstar and Maga firebrand Michael Tait of drugging and sexually assaulting them including Jason Jones, the founding manager of the American hard-rock band Evanescence.
Jones said he was fired from the band which had ties to Tait for speaking out about his alleged assault. Jones said the firing, which he claimed happened in 1999, cut him out of Evanescences massive success beginning in 2003.
...
In all, eight alleged victims have now come forward publicly with sexual assault allegations against Tait. A previous investigation by the Guardian reported allegations of sexual assault by Tait against three young men while another from the Christian news outlet the Roys Report reported allegations by three other men.
Tait became famous as the frontman for DC Talk and Newsboys, two Christian mega-bands known for packaging conservative rhetoric about sexual abstinence, sobriety, Christian nationalism and the coming rapture in catchy rock songs. Tait has been a supporter of Donald Trump and served as a key bridge between Trump and evangelical voters.

The problem with you, Tait, isn't whom your with but how you're with them, non consensual. If you go to prison you're going to know what that's like. Stop living the lie.
Oh, and the other problem is your support of that Felon whom also doesn't ask for consent.
Not just Cosby? PTL!

Good people see their brazen hypocrisy, and want no part of their efforts to impose their twisted religious ideology on everyone else.
Which is not to say that all Christians are like them. Many fine people of faith do their best to live by the words of Jesus, and are accepting of other faiths & non-believers.
But these MAGA Xians are loud, intrusive, hypocritical, and support the most irreligious, immoral, corrupt POtuS ever to stain the White House and our national honor.
