Stephen Lee, 19th co-defendant, surrenders at Fulton County Jail in Georgia - Political IQ

Illinois pastor Stephen Lee turned himself in Friday at Fulton County Jail on charges related to efforts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election.

Political IQ

"Lee wasn't just a pastor who happened to have a political affinity for Trump. He actively misused his authority as a minister to try to gain access to [Ruby] Freeman against her will -- and to dissuade police from intervening."

Lee drove to Georgia from Chicago and targeted election worker Ruby Lee, attempting to intimidate her, and is now facing charges for that reason.

Faithful America has a petition online calling on the president of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, LCMS President, Rev. Matthew C. Harrison, to expel Rev. Stephen Lee from ordained ministry after the role Lee played in Trump's attempt to subvert the 2020 election, for which Lee has been indicted.

An email Faithful America sent out re: this petition states the following:

Sign now: Expel pastor indicted with Trump from ordination

Rev. Lee badgered witnesses to overturn election results

Faithful America

Lee appeared unannounced at Ruby Freeman's house, and when she was not there, he left a note with a neighbor telling her time was "running out" and he wanted to help her. Next day, he showed up parked in her driveway. When she very understandably rebuffed him, he then turned to Harrison Floyd of Black Voices for Trump to try to gain a foothold with Ruby Freeman.

Just a Christian pastor trying to do good, you understand….

Bless his little heart, that good man of God Reverend Stephen Lee only drove down from Chicago to Georgia — over 700 miles — and tried to contact Ruby Freeman because this is what he does as a Christian pastor. He comforts the suffering.

Or at least this is the story his lawyer's peddling now that Lee has been indicted as a Trump co-conspirator.
