What they’re saying after GOP delegates nominated conservative pastor Micah Beckwith over Mike Braun’s pick for lt. governor, Trump-endorsed Rep. Julie McGuire. Plus a look at school board filings
I look forward to deeper reporting on Beckwith, and not just in this column. I'm curious about his religious philosophy. I don't understand, for example, why God would direct people on January 6th to spread fecal matter at the capitol. Why did God cause the deaths of 9 people? And why would God direct people to "hang Mike Pence?" Why would God send his soldiers to overturn a legitimate election? These questions seem like snarky jokes, but they aren't. They are prompted by the candidate and the answers will shed further light on inspirations for his governing philosophy. The candidate might be able to share what other domestic terror God might call for.
Answer: all of the terrors. It's all in Revelations, the only book of the bible written by Hunter S. Thompson. They're all going to get Raptured out of here so might as well break stuff on the way out. Coming attractions: a war in the Middle East (Armageddon), Israel restored to its rightful borders (big), rise of a popular fellow called Antichrist (orange wasn't actually specified in the text).
I’m not sure whether we should laugh or cry about God’s “chosen” being voted to be Braun’s assistant! Is Braun strong enough to control this self-appointed holier than though? Even t***p didn’t choose this crazy. NOW maybe the Democrats will have a chance to elect a sane person who cares about our personal freedoms instead of wanting to eliminate every shred of democracy left in local government. With beckwith, does this remind anyone of the (good old days) of the kkk? Or all of you to young or disinterested to know our consuming white robe history?
"Beckwith on Jan. 7, 2021, discussing how God told him that the assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was divinely driven." Oh great. Not only far right wing, but also delusional. Pro-insurrection. Can we PLEASE not vote yet another embarrassment in to Indiana public office?

Having a male running mate does seem pretty gay, Mike.

Is Micah Beckwith a Jim Jones wannabe?
Seems appropriate that our march to a theocracy begins with a forced marriage.
Oh, and he's "anti-woke". What part of woke does he hate? Politeness? The call for equal rights? Paying attention to history?
I also have many questions.
