GORDON KLINGENSCHMITT
(Gordon James Klingenschmitt)
This quotation is hardly believable, even for an ultra extreme, evangelical, Christian, fundamentalist. His paranoia and homophobia went so far as to claim that somehow the only gay Congressman, Jared Polis, was going to bankrupt Christians who did not endorse his homosexuality. How he might do this Klingenschmitt never explained. But then to associate Polis with the Muslim Fundamentalist Terrorist organization ISIS—which executes homosexuals—and claim that Polis would behead Christians in America was over the top. The quotation illustrates the freedom of speech allowed in American political campaigning where the most absurd, libelous, falsehoods are allowed, as well as the fact that an obvious unbalanced person can freely run for office.
