On Thursday, Rachel Hamm, a Republican candidate for secretary of state in California, claimed in an interview that God will commit voter fraud on her behalf to cancel out Democrats if they try to steal the election from her.
"I would pray that I win," said Hamm. "One thing that I have been doing is praying that if anyone tries to steal a vote, that God would send the angels to steal the vote back. To make it an honest vote."
Rachel Hamm, who is running for secretary of state in California because she claims Jesus appeared in her closet and told her to do so, is praying that if anyone tries to steal votes from her, "God will send the angels to steal the vote back." https://twitter.com/hemantmehta/status/1504615074497011715\u00a0\u2026pic.twitter.com/7L5gxY3Cp2 — Right Wing Watch (@Right Wing Watch) 1650556375
Hamm previously announced her run for secretary of state after claiming that Jesus appeared to her son in her closet and handed her a scroll commanding her to run for the office. She also claims that she has verified former President Donald Trump was the real winner of the 2020 election using her "empath" powers.
She needs to hook up with that evangelical nutjob that looks like he's possessed.
I hope she gets the gop's nomination and then loses!
I hope the GOP shows a little sanity and ignores this candidate.
Hedge that bet.
It is a hope, not a prediction.
Rachel Hamm? She related to the 'Ark Scammers' in Kentucky or Tennessee, wherever that rip off is that the local taxpayers are on the hook for?
Hamm is also counting on 'the angels'? She has 'wild eyes' in the photo. Sexually active perhaps?
She certainly speaks like Ken Ham ... but the last names are spelled differently.
That whackjob is mainstream in today's Republican Party. She might win the Republican primary and become the Republican nominee, but her chance of winning the general election in California is zero. If she was running in a red state, her chances would probably be pretty good.
I don't know. They had Nunez.
Nunez was elected in a very Republican district. He would never win a state-wide race. That lady is running for a state office, not a local one. She has no chance. Trust me on that.
If even Republicans vote for that person who should be locked up in a padded cell in a straight jacket they belong in the adjoining cell.
" Satan-worshipping pedophiles running a global sex-trafficking operation control the U.S. government, media and financial institutions. A storm is coming to sweep away the elites and restore the rightful leader of the country. And things are so off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save the country."
" a quarter of Republicans agree with those sentiments , according to a PRRI report released Thursday that was based on data from four separate polls it conducted. So does 16% of the population as a whole – or, Jackson notes, about 44 million people ."
There are literally tens of millions of Americans living in their own delusional conservative universe where facts, science and reality seem incapable of penetrating. They have become so thoroughly invested in their delusion that they and their fellow white Christian conservatives are the protagonist in some universal battle between good and evil that they cannot afford to question their motives and thus deflect and reject truth in favor of confirmation bias. They actively seek out anything that could prove their prejudiced beliefs as well as Qanon conspiracy theories and the lie about widespread voter fraud which they assume must have happened or else they, the self-anointed protagonists, wouldn't have lost.
The candidate above is just a byproduct of the right wing religious conservative insanity and shouldn't surprise anyone who has been watching Republican politics evolve after it was hijacked by Trump and the millions of poorly educated conservative sycophants that empower him. This isn't the old Republican party that used to use the same set of facts but just disagree with the Democratic party over ideological or fiscal policy differences, this is a Republican party that lays claim to their own manufactured "alternative facts" and conspiracy theories which is far more insidious and difficult to combat. These are folk who claim Trump was chosen by their God, it's no wonder that they would support a candidate that says her "empath" powers confirm their unfounded belief in widespread voter fraud.
But they KNOW they're right, because they know that if they were wrong they'd be zapped by the Israeli Space Lasers.
She looks like a nut.
People who think God is helping them make decisions (i.e. thinking 'faith-based belief' is the same as critical thinking) are not going to evaluate the facts with objective reasoning and thus will likely not make the best decisions for the public. In short, they should not be elected to an office.
People whose religious faith is so strong as to be delusional (e.g. belief that Jesus appeared in her son's closet) probably should not be in a position of responsibility where they can affect other people.
It reminds of of people that pray to win a football game.
Behold!
Actually, I found him on the couch.
Slacker. Shouldn't he be out multiplying bread and fish then washing it down with wine made from water?
Then selling the excess wine for a profit!
LOL!
That's what I like about you, Ed...a pure capitalist at heart
Yep.
Is she any relation to Ken Hamm? If so seems that grifters and wackos run in the family.
What will God use for his voter ID, a burning bush?
That’s not environmentally responsible.
Few jokes are. Lighten up Francis.
Sounds like she's trying to cover up discovering her son was transcurious
She'd better be careful with that terminology. Somebody might think she's a witch and then there will be a whole new meaning to "burning bush" (h/t to Paula)
When reading about this woman, for some reason the intro from the Twilight Zone come to mind...
