GOP Senate candidate identifies more with Putin than Biden..😬

Lauren Witzke, the Delaware GOP's candidate for Senate in 2020, has nothing but praise for Putin and "his Christian nationalist nation": "I identify more with Putin's Christian values than I do with Joe Biden."
*****

Putin the mass murderer has more 'christian values than her own President Biden??!
Someone has to be running against her. Wow.
They just come out & say it. Shouldn't she be registered with FARA? Or something?

Chris Coons stomped her 59 - 38.

Y'all remember the witch Christine O'Donnell? She seems rather quaint, now.

He holds absolutely zero Christian values...at least those values taught by Jesus.

Perhaps he is talking about the values that the pseudo-spiritual, right wing, fundamentalist anti-christians hold, but are not in any way aligned with the teachings of Jesus, and are actually aligned with satanic values of fear, anger, hatred, and violence.

Now that would make sense.

About 75% of them do!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One day there will be a film "The Day Putin gave the Republicans LSD"

They will try to call it a fantasy film. We will call it a documentary.

Lauren Elena Witzke (born February 9, 1988) is an American far-right, anti-LGBT political activist, conspiracy theorist, QAnon supporter...

Witzke's Senate campaign was endorsed by white nationalist Nick Fuentes who had marched in the August 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville. Witzke accepted Fuentes' endorsement with the response of "Thank you, Nick!".

Witzke has described Black Lives Matter as "violent terrorists" who want to "stoke societal unrest, and literally already has blood on their hands"

In October 2020, Witzke defended the far-right organization the Proud Boys and said at one point that the Proud Boys exemplified "patriotic masculinity" and thanked the group for providing security at her campaign rallies.

Witzke is openly homophobic and transphobic. She described gay people as "enemies" and said that Christians should "reclaim the rainbow" and celebrate pride month June as "Christianity month"

...claiming that transgender people are "mentally ill" and "demonic". She also iterated her opposition to both same-sex marriage and gay conservatives being welcomed into the Republican Party.

Witzke also espoused the unsubstantiated belief that trans people are "sexual predators" and "pedophiles".

Witzke has voiced support for the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon which posits the disproven belief that a satanist cabal of Democratic politicians and Hollywood celebrities are engaging in acts of pedophilia and child abuse so they can extract the blood of children to extend their life
