It says right there in your linked article that he believes that people who falsely accuse others of a crime should be subject to the same punishment as for the crime they've falsely accused someone of. Therefore, he obviously does in fact think that rapists should also be executed.
I don't think execution is a punishment I really want governments to have, so I'm generally against capital punishment. However, I do think he's on to something with regard to a false accusation carrying the same level of punishment as the crime they falsely accuse someone of.

The 'gay beam' pastor sees Christian Nationalism as a positive force, while his co host also thinks that America should be ruled by a 'Protestant Franco" & they've bought up several acres around Moscow, Tennessee intending to turn it into a 'church town' & believe that civil rights 'ruined everything.'

We would need an infallible justice system to achieve that. And I doubt such a thing can ever exist if it involves human beings.
True. Although some countries have a better system than others, & it might help if other countries learned from their results. But alas - we're human.
