Jesse Lee Peterson (born May 22, 1949) is an American conservative talk show host, political commentator and Christian minister.[2]

As a Black American raised in the Jim Crow era,[2] Peterson has gained notoriety for his staunchly traditional political and religious views,[3] which have been described as homophobic,[4] and of a white nationalist nature.[5][6][7]
