Candice Keller Says, "Just Like Donald Trump, God Is Raising Josh Mandel Up to Be Our Cyrus"

When former President Donald Trump was in office, his religious-right supporters fell over themselves to shower him with comparisons to biblical leaders, ranging from King David and Solomon to Cyrus and the Apostle Paul. Ohio Republican U.S. Senate candidate Josh Mandel was similarly exalted when he appeared Saturday at an event held at Calvary Church in Hamilton, Ohio, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Mandel was introduced by Candice Keller, a former right-wing Ohio state representative who was defeated in the Republican primary last year after she blamed mass shootings on homosexual marriage and drag queen advocates, among other things. Keller welcomed Mandel to the stage by likening him to King David and Cyrus and declaring that he has been chosen by God.
He, I believe, is Gods man for the hour, Keller said. I absolutely believe that. Hes 43. When I look at him, I think thats what David looked likeKing David in the Bible. In my mind, Im like, Thats King David. And you know, just like David, I believe that hes Gods man for the hour.
Josh Mandel is going to go to the Senate, Keller declared. Just so you know, hes going. Hes going. Now, when he gets there, I know hes only going to be one of 100, but God said, I searched for one man so I would not have to judge a nation. And just like Donald Trump, God is raising Josh Mandel up to be our Cyrus in Ohio. Ohio is the most significant state in the nation, in my opinion. God is going to place Josh in a strategic place, and I believe hes in it.

(16,996 posts)I'm sick of these people making references to the Old Testament in their campaign speeches, all of this Dominionist claptrap. In every election, there's some nutbar running who is the new King David who is going to lead the fundagelicals to power. Do they want the King David who took another man's wife and sent the man to die on the front lines so he could keep her? Why not, they supported a holy President who used campaign cash to pay hush money to a porn star. These people are so hypocritical and so bankrupt of any real spirituality. Oh, and I'd love to hear why Ohio is the most significant state in the nation.

(8,191 posts)theocratic rule here. Christian Nationalists they are called. They've been behind much of the culture war and anti abortion actions. They are the modern day versions of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison who believe that their wealth was a reward from God and that they have the correct vision of America as a white Christian aristocracy ruled by and for the ultra-rich with no civil rights and with liberty and justice for those who own it.
