Gordon Klingenschmitt, a newly elected Republican state lawmaker for one of Colorado’s most conservative districts, says President Obama might very well be possessed by demons, needful of exorcism.
He has actually written a book about the matter — a 2012 tome titled “The Demons of Barack H. Obama: How the Gift of Discerning of Spirits Reveals Unseen Forces Influencing American Politics,” Mediaite reported.
Amazon describes the book as an examination of “the policies and actions of Barack H. Obama to compare the moral indicators of his political behavior to Biblical standards of ethical morality, to help us discern what spirits are actually manifesting inside the soul of the 44th president of the United States.”
On top of that, Mr. Klingenschmitt’s hosted an Internet show during when he prayed for the demons to come out of Mr. Obama, Mediaite reported.
But the view isn’t as radical as it sounds on surface; a 2012 Public Policy Polling survey indicated that the majority in American believe in demon possession, The Daily Dot reported.
Still, Republicans by and large have distanced themselves from the newly elected lawmaker.
“Gordon does not speak on behalf of the Republican party,” Colorado GOP Chairman Ryan Call told the Denver Post. “To suggest otherwise is inaccurate and dishonest.”
