Gordon Klingenschmitt: Senators Who Voted Against Kavanaugh Are 'Demonized People'

On a recent episode of his “Pray In Jesus Name” program, Religious Right activist Gordon Klingenschmitt said that all of the senators who voted against the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court did so because they are possessed by demons.

“I believe all the Republicans looked into this man’s eyes and believed that he was telling the truth,” Klingenschmitt said. “They discerned upon him the spirit of truth in his under-oath statements that he had never been sexually immoral.”

“The man’s character is honorable,” he continued. “And yet, all the Democrats looked into his eyes and they discerned the devil inside of him. Now, did they properly discern the spirits inside of him? No. Because inside the Democrats is this political ax that they’re trying to grind of killing more children through the abortion business that they think Kavanaugh is going to overturn.”

“So, because of their own demons, the Democrats looked into his eyes, they saw the spirit of God and they called it a devil,” Klingenschmitt said. “They did the same thing to Jesus—the pharisees looked at Jesus and they called him a devil and it proves that the gift of discerning the spirits is not available to demonized people themselves; it’s only available to, in this case, Republican senators who are filled with the spirit of God.”

So if we extrapolate this, pussy grabbing and sexual assault are now considered "family values" and anyone who opposes them is possessed by demons. I'm sure somewhere Jesus is facepalming at this.

that he is a highly intelligent man, who ran out the clock talking about his grades, and friends, rather than answer a question and perjure himself. They can believe thatever they want, but in my book, that’s called lying by omission. And I hope to God we take back our government and investigate this for AT LEAST as long as they investigated *ahem* Whitewater.

Which is why Dr. Ford's calm, deliberate, and damning testimony was so suspect.
