Marianne Williamson deletes tweet saying 'power of the mind' helped turn Dorian

Spiritual guru and self-help author Marianne Williamson on Wednesday posted and then deleted a tweet suggesting that the "power of the mind" helped turn Hurricane Dorian away from delivering a more dangerous blow to the United States.

“The Bahamas, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas...may all be in our prayers now,” the Democratic presidential candidate said in the original tweet, adding, “Millions of us seeing Dorian turn away from land is not a wacky idea; it is a creative use of the power of the mind. Two minutes of prayer, visualization, meditation for those in the way of the storm.”

Or it could be jet stream and a 2 high pressure systems squeezing the Hurricane offshore.
Listen I am all for visualization, but not for a Hurricane.
Try science and facts.
This is why you had no business even running.
