Texas pastor apologizes for event at church where 'let's go Brandon' chant was heard

Texas pastor Matt Hagee issued an apology and said he properly did not vet the organizers of a political event held at the church building, which concluded with attendees chanting, "Let's go Brandon" — an idiom insulting President Biden.

Cornerstone Church, a nondenominational congregation in San Antonio, received criticism on social media last week for hosting a right-wing political event called the ReAwaken America tour organized by Clay Clark of the "Thrivetime Show" podcast that included speakers such as former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Roger Stone, according to a flyer for the sold-out event.

Hagee, who welcomed the crowd, now say "it was not appropriate to allow this event at our church."
