Republicans are freaking out after President Biden’s announcement of vaccine mandates this week. But perhaps nobody’s more unnerved than antigay GOP candidate Josh Mandel, who had a psychotic meltdown in an Ohio cornfield late last night.
The former Ohio Treasurer, who is Jewish and accepts campaign donations from Nazis, urged his supporters to “not comply” with any of Biden’s orders, even if they are upheld by the courts.

“I’m driving through western Ohio, driving through a cornfield near a town called Logansville, Ohio,” the 43-year-old said in a minute-long video posted to social media yesterday. “My blood is boiling in rage at what I’ve seen from the White House today!”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Oh, Josh, quit being so dramatic.
“Joe Biden–I’m not even going to call him President Biden, he’s not–Joe Biden is creating a constitutional crisis!” he continued. “As I was driving through this cornfield, I literally came across this sign, this Trump sign. He is my president!”
Mandel, who has a gay cousin and hates LGBTQ people, is currently running for the U.S. Senate seat that opened up when Sen. Rob Portman announced he would not seek re-election.

In the cornfield video, he also said he prays the Supreme Court will step in to “stand up for the Constitution and stand up for our freedom! Stand up for our liberty!”
“And if they don’t,” he added, “I call on my fellow Americans: Do not comply!”
Yes, you read that correctly, folx. Mandel first said it’s important to “stand up for the Constitution” and then, seconds later, said people should “not comply” if they don’t agree with the conservative Supreme Court’s ruling on the Constitution.
“Do not comply with the tyranny!” he continued. “When the gestapo show up at your front door, you know what to do!”

Inciting violence and invoking a Nazi organization in the same tweet. What a disgrace.

This is really creepy dude… I’m expecting guys to come out of the cornfield with tiki torches…

Conservatives: “Should’ve just complied.”
Also conservatives: “Do not comply!”

No, @JoshMandelOhio, the COVID vaccine is not the gestapo.

Do you get up every morning, look in the mirror and ask yourself “how could I possibly look more ridiculous today than I did yesterday?”
I thought you would have reached peak-ridiculous with your burn-a-mask-at-the-bottom-of-a-stairwell video. Boy, was I wrong.

Imagine saying this in front of a big TRUMP banner, the guy who had secret police in unmarked vans abduct peaceful protesters off the street.

Even more terrifying, what do you do when this spooky “Children of the Corn” guy Josh Mandel shows up at your door in the middle of the night? 😱 pic.twitter.com/ec45Jh3OPA

Without sound it looks like you are yelling at a cop trying to give you a breathalyzer, my dude.

This idiots understand neither the horrors that disease can cause and prevented with vaccines nor the horrors of Nazi Germany. Clueless morons should not be elected to Congress.

The majority of those unvaccinated are Republicans. This would mean that the majority of unvaccinated individuals contracting COVID are Republicans. The most obvious conclusion then would be that the majority of deaths resulting from COVID would also be Republicans. If the GOP has any hope of regaining a Senate majority in 2022 and/or the Presidency in 2024 they might want to stop telling their party members not to follow COVID safety precautions and to get vaccinated as quickly as possible. Dead people, contrary to conspiracy theories, cannot vote – and that includes Republicans.

Karma = unvaccinated republicans kicking he bucket. That would thin out the herd and get the US closer to herd immunity. Cause the so-called patriotic republicans are NOT patriotic : they’re Neo Nazi FASCIST cretins.

J.D. Vance will have a tough time trying to out-crazy Mandel. May the craziest one win the primary, then lose to Tim Ryan!
“As I was driving through this cornfield, I literally came across this sign, this Trump sign. He is my president!” I suspect the “literally” here means he literally jerked off and came onto a Trump sign.

Sick of morons who refuse vaccines. LET THEM DIE OF COVID. They have no one to blame but themselves.
xnetminder
I’ve said this same thing many times!! I hold my sympathy for those medical heroes who have to deal with these idiots especially when they realize they’re gonna die and start begging for the vaccine!! Fkn idiots!!

A cornfield? I kept expecting Billy Mumy to show up & turn him into a jackass-in-the-box!
mikeyk1964
Haha! “You’re a BAD MAN! Your’re a VERY BAD MAN!” Little Billy Mumy could have been saying that directly to Josh Mandel.
