"To refer to the Madam Vice President in any context as 'Jezebel' is simply unwarranted and disrespectful and extremely harmful to the image of Southern Baptists, when this label emanates from the heart and mouth of an SBC pastor," McKissic tweeted. "Consequently, I choose not to engage in any further fellowship with Tom Buck."
