Hagee founded a series of churches in San Antonio, Texas starting in 1966, and each church outgrew its building, leading to him forming the Cornerstone Church in 1987.[3] Beginning in 1981 in San Antonio, following Operation Opera, Hagee has organized "A Night to Honor Israel" events aiming to show support for the State of Israel.[4]
Hagee has been politically active. In 1968, he endorsed Democrat George Wallace in his bid for president. His advocacy included organizing and mobilizing a youth movement called "Wallace Youth".[5][6][7]
In 1996, Hagee spoke on behalf of Republican presidential primary candidate Alan Keyes, who in 2004 lost the U.S. Senate election in Illinois to Barack Obama.[8] In 2002, Hagee endorsed the conservative State Representative John Shields in the latter's unsuccessful bid for the Republican primary for the District 25 seat in the Texas Senate. Hagee dubbed Shields's opponent, incumbent Jeff Wentworth, "the most pro-abortion" of 181 legislators in both houses of the Texas legislature.[9]
On February 7, 2006, Hagee and some 400 leaders from across the Christian and Jewish communities formed Christians United for Israel (CUFI). This lobbies members of the United States Congress, using a biblical stance for promoting Christian Zionism. Around that time he received death threats for his activism on behalf of the State of Israel and hired bodyguards for protection.[10]
In 2008, Hagee endorsed Senator John McCain in the presidential contest against Barack Obama.[8] After Hagee's endorsement of McCain, a furore arose over statements made by Hagee that were perceived by some as anti-Catholic and antisemitic.[11][12][10][13][14] Following Hagee's remarks, McCain publicly distanced himself from Hagee.[15][16]
Hagee was the primary funding source for the Israeli Zionist group Im Tirtzu, until he cut ties with the organization in 2013.[17] He is also anti-abortion and stopped giving money to Israel's Hadassah Medical Center when it began offering the procedure.[18]
In 2016, Hagee endorsed Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.[19]
