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 God’s man for the hour,” Keller said. “I absolutely believe that. He’s 43. When I look at him, I think that’s what David looked like—King David in the Bible. In my mind, I’m like, ‘That’s King David.’ And you know, just like David, I believe that he’s God’s man for the hour.”

“Josh Mandel is going to go to the Senate,” Keller declared. “Just so you know, he’s going. He’s going. Now, when he gets there, I know he’s 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 he’s in it.”

Unbelievable! Where in the hell do these people come from?

1. Josh Mandel-- the asshole who believes the Post Office is unconstitutional.

[Haggard Celine]

2. Crazy fucks!

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.

for my mother in law. The scary part is how many believe her in this area.

8. Like everyone else, I'm wondering...

how the hell this country has become so ignorant & insane.

Religion?

[Ford_Prefect]

14. It's a long term plan by rich RW zealots to undermine the democratic process and establish

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.

15. Anything and everything for them...

Daily religious smackdown for everyone else.

9. The next time God gets personally involved in an Ohio Republican primary

I'm thinking any self-respecting deity will be capable of making the announcement without needing Candace Keller's help.

10. David was an adulterer and murderer.

11. JFC....he and this person think the preamble to the Constitution should be rewritten with

Yes he is god.....

[2Gingersnaps]

12. The jerk who loaded his office with unqualified cronies

and did not bother showing up at the end of his term in his last elected office. Don't know who the third joke is, but JD Vance has pissed off the hillbillies with his book, no matter how trumpy he tries to sound.
