China Floods: Thousands at Risk After Multiple Dams Collapse in Guangxi

Pastor Brian Gibson prayed with Americans in Washington, a day before Congress counted the electoral votes.

There, he encouraged people to vote out Congressmen who don't object to potentially fraudulent results.

Gibson then attended President Donald Trump's speech the next day on Jan. 6.

He left with his wife to their hotel before the breach of the Capitol building and later they learned about the violence that took place there.

But since then, Gibson says people have threatened him and his family with death over an old picture of him with an actor who breached the Capitol building dressed in costume. Gibson says he took the photo at a previous rally in Arizona because he thought the man's outfit was memorable. He says he had no idea what actions the man was going to take on Jan. 6.

"People took that picture. And then they took the picture of him inside the Capitol and began to accuse me of masterminding the Capitol siege, which is insanity. I take thousands of pictures, selfies, I'm a public figure. So from that point, on Twitter, on Facebook, on all these social media platforms, people started finding my information, publishing it, saying let's make this man famous, and thousands of calls, death threats started pouring in," said Gibson.

Many of these threats have made it to his church campuses.

Some, he says, have even called for his crucifixion.

In light of the recent, heavy censoring of conservatives and President Trump, the pastor says the harassment he's facing isn't just about the picture.

"They were looking for a moment like this. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is a Marxist play, comes right out of the Marxist handbook. So, it's an ideological war. If they cannot control the voice, they want to silence it. And what it really shows is they're afraid of voices. Like, not just mine, but like the men and women of God across this nation that will stand up and say, we don't serve you, we answer to a higher authority," said Gibson.

But, he says, he won't bow down to pressure and that he thinks it's time for Americans to come together, be reasonable, and take a strong stand for the Constitution.
