In 2004, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger kicked Drollinger's Bible studies out of CA capitol:
In 2009, his own church investigated him and said he was not "biblically qualified" for spiritual leadership.
...
Throughout Drollinger has shown himself to be anti-women, anti-Catholic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Jewish ....
and teaches God demands borders to keep nations separate w/distinct categories: "citizens, immigrants, foreigners."

Surprise, surprise, it was Mike Pence who got him the Washington gig. For how this ends if things turn nasty, see The Handmaid's Tale:
"It is one thing for a mother to work out of her home while her children are in school," wrote Drollinger.

Whereas the former could be in keeping with the spirit of Proverbs 31, the latter is sinful."
