Just hours after he delivered an impassioned benediction at President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Reverend Lorenzo Sewell announced the launch of his own crypto token dubbed $Lorenzo. “I need you to do me a favor right now,” he said in a video on X. “I want you to be able to see politics become manifest, not just in the way where we’re praying over political gatherings, but we’re seeing us become the hands and the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Sewell urged his supporters to purchase his token in order to fund his ministry’s projects, which he said included providing transportation, housing, education, and medical services. “I need you to do me a favor and go and get that coin in order for us to accomplish the vision that God has called us to do in our Earth,” he said. “I give God glory for what he has done, but we know that King’s dream can only be fulfilled if we acknowledge that people are living in a nightmare.” Sewell’s animated benediction at the inauguration garnered mixed reactions, with some social media users calling it their “favorite prayer over America,” and MSNBC Joy Reid dubbing it “over the top” and “quite performative.” Sewell appears to be taking a page out of Trump’s playbook, with both Donald and Melania launching their own crypto coins before inauguration day.
