Sorry - not the only thing Hagee said that was offensive - not by a long shot.
This is a transcript of his speech which basically says that God caused the Holocaust coz it would restore Israel - c’mon - that’s completely offensive to the memories of the 6m people slaughtered in the Holocaust.

“”God says in Jeremiah 16: ‘Behold, I will bring them the Jewish people again unto their land that I gave to their fathers. ... Behold, I will send for many fishers, and after will I send for many hunters. And they the hunters shall hunt them.’ That would be the Jews. ... Then God sent a hunter. A hunter is someone who comes with a gun and he forces you. Hitler was a hunter,” Hagee said, according to a transcript of his sermon.”
Was the Holocaust only meaningless evil? Or did it demonstrate that God doesn’t exist, as some have argued? Elie Wiesel seems to suggest as much, in “Night.” It’s not for me to say, but I don’t see it that way.
I don’t agree with Hagee, either. It’s not for us to say what is providential and what is evil, although it is a standard Christian argument that God turns evil back to good ends.
The Bible suggests that the Babylonian Exile was God’s providential intervention into Jewish history. It was a punishment for Jewish sins, but in the end it became a providential means of deliverance of the two tribes that survived.
Evangelicals like to speculate about the End Times. Catholics for the most part prefer not to; but I can’t say that they are necessarily wrong—only that they are attempting to explain mysteries that are beyond human explanation.
