Of all the wild right-wing campaign stumpers out there, this Texan “prophet” might just take the (allegedly anointed) cake.
Trump-loving Pennsylvania gubernatorial hopeful Doug Mastriano has brought Christ-shyster Lance Wallnau to help sell his candidacy, and it’s a partnership made in their particular version of heaven.
As reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer, this evangelist’s questionable record has it all: accusing the Women’s March of manifesting “the spirit of Jezebel”, hocking $45 “prayer coins” of Donald Trump‘s face with Jim Bakker, hailing Biden as the “antichrist”… we could go all day.
Wallnau was the speaker at a recent Mastriano rally who notably led the audience in an uncomfortably familiar right-hand salute.
How about we take this to the next level?

The most unbelievable bit of this huckster’s history might just be an offhand story he told on a livestream years ago that is almost impossible to summarize.
In it, Wallnau told the grand tale of a “gay and very adamantly anti-Christian” bar owner who was redeemed in Christ and delivered from homosexuality by a soul-saving confection.
A saved man who frequented the bar apparently saved two “hookers” he met there, and the three came together to bake a cake for the owner. Not just any cake, of course; this cake was anointed.
“The power of God hit him while he was eating the cake,” he said. And just like that, the owner was saved and turned straight.
We wish we were joking:

Mastriano seems all too appreciative to have this case study on his campaign trail. In a recent facebook post, he wrote, “Thank you, Lance Wallnau for being here!” with a gallery of chummy photos. Besties!
Blessedly for the rest of us, it seems Mastriano’s campaign is floundering. The candidate recently spoke to a crowd of just a few dozen in Harrisburg — many of whom were his own volunteers — in the same spot that he drew thousands to in 2020.
His trailing poll numbers continue to lessen, and he hasn’t seen any ad spots in months. It seems this cursed union is a failing effort to keep his last legs standing. Hallelujah.

He must have been praying for better poll numbers. I wonder why it hasn’t worked?

Bad anointed cake, perhaps?
It’s a shame that our American politics have fallen this far. Embarrassing, just embarrassing.

What a bunch of nazi losers.

I have firsthand experience with this. I prayed over a butt plug I had just bought my freshmen year of college, then left it out for my roommate to find, hoping my prayers in combination with finding the butt plug would gay him up. Fast forward – He dumped his GF and I f@#ked him for the next three years! Hallelujah for prayer in all its forms!

Then the next article will cover how wealthy white gay men will still find some way to say donnie was the most pro gay president ever and Democrats are the real danger. The LCR will vote republican from their concentration camp cells. At least their investments will be safe.

The entire GOP has become unhinged courtesy of the loser that they bow down to – Trump. Most of these people are nutbags.

Do they believe all the shit they are saying – or do they say the hateful nonsense to piss off, punk and upset people who believe in compassion and acceptance? It’s as if they have not advanced past being school yard bullies.
You’ll notice that WE have some of those same people right here. Reactive people like this are everywhere: cuteguy spews hate on cue. Cam demands that we believe that ONE PERSON is posting under hundreds of names. Even Jimmy is saying that my elderly Aunt Minnie (a Republican) is a “nutbag” because she is conservative financially and is afraid of crime.
Instead of being reactive bullies, we’d get more traction being compassionate, accepting, understanding and VOTING. It’s how we won equality. It’s how we keep equality. Be a lover, not a fighter.
