Bob Enyart, radio host who refused vaccine because of abortion beliefs, dies of COVID

LOS ANGELES, UNITED STATES: Radio talk-show host Bob Enyart burns the O.J. Simpson Hall of Fame Diploma, which once belonged to the famous American football star, in front of the Criminal Courthouse in Los Angeles, CA, 17 February. He purchased this item and others for the total amount of 16,000 USD in a public auction 16 February. Enyart destroyed O.J. Simpson's memorabilia in protest against the US criminal justice system which acquitted Simpson of the murder of his former wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman. Among the items destroyed, were the Hall of Fame Award, two Jerseys and the Life Saver Trophy. (ELECTRONIC IMAGE) AFP PHOTO Hector MATA/hmb (Photo credit should read HECTOR MATA/AFP via Getty Images)

Conservative firebrand Bob Enyart, the pastor of the Denver Bible Church and indelible talk show host, has died from COVID-19, his radio co-host announced Monday on Facebook.

“Bob Enyart was one of the smartest, and without question, the wisest person I’ve known,” Fred Williams, Enyart’s co-host on the Real Science Radio show, said in a post.

Enyart and his wife refused to get the vaccine due to abortion concerns, he said on his website.

In October, Enyart successfully sued the state over mask mandates and capacity limits in churches, a rare legal victory against broad public health mandates instituted during the pandemic.

Pushing the limits never bothered Enyart.

He once traveled to New Zealand for the sole purpose of being arrested with a “Clinton is a Rapist” banner, according to a 1999 Westword profile.

On his old TV show, Bob Enyart Live, the host would “gleefully read obituaries of AIDS sufferers while cranking ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ by Queen,” Westword reported.

The show’s website says Enyart has aired more than 6,000 radio and TV shows across 80 cities from Honolulu to Orlando, Fla. He claims to be in the top 5% of all authors for book and video sales.

Enyart also served as the spokesman for American Right to Life, which bills itself as the “abolition wing of the pro-life movement.”

He served as Denver Bible Church’s pastor since 2000, according to his biography.

Before entering the life of a pastor and talk show host, Enyart designed software for Army helicopters and worked as a computer analyst for Microsoft, he says on his show’s website.

“Heaven’s gain has left an enormous hole here on earth,” Williams wrote. “Bob’s enduring legacy will live on with the treasure trove he leaves behind.”
