Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas encouraged Americans not to listen to former Secretary of State and two-time Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

“Please, please don’t listen to this evil woman,” he said.

“Her lies and immorality need to be silenced for the good of humanity,” he added.

Strickland’s comments came in respond to Clinton’s remarks at the Women’s Voice Summit.

At the event, Clinton compared pro-life laws to Islamic Sharia law in Sudan and Afghanistan.

“We have come a long way on so many fronts but we are also in a period of time where there is a lot of pushback and much of the progress that has been taken for granted by too many people is under attack,” Clinton said.

“Literally under attack in places like Iran or Afghanistan or Ukraine — where rape is a tactic of war,” she continued.

“Or under attack by political and cultural forces in a country like our own when it comes to women’s healthcare and bodily autonomy,” Clinton said.

“It’s so shocking to think that in any way we’re related to poor Afghanistan and Sudan, but as an advanced economy as we allegedly are, on this measure, we, unfortunately, are rightly put with them.”

“This struggle is between autocracy and democracy from our country to places we can’t even believe we’re being compared to,” she added.
