Kandiss Taylor, the “Jesus, Guns, Babies” candidate who ran for the GOP nomination for governor in Georgia, received just 3.4% of the vote, finishing in third place well behind Kemp and Perdue.
And she’s refusing to concede. “Election was rigged.”
In case you’re wondering how much of an ass-whipping a Trumpist candidate needs to take before they’ll admit that they lost, 70 points is not enough.
I believe the correct response in Southern vernacular is “bless her heart”.
This looks like a job for Cyber Ninjas! Where are they when we need them?
“When all else fails, there’s always delusion.”
Who else is going to fight the Satanic cabal?
John Oliver discusses her (and other, more interesting topics). Too bad she missed all the free publicity!
One must consider that she did get 39,345 votes. So, there are that many people in GA actively voting in her favor. Yikes!
No, mercifully I don’t. Was that her bumper sticker or something? Or the entirety of a speech she gave?
Worse; she had it plastered on the side of her campaign bus.
I’d be willing to bet a small amount that this was her plan all along – run the lowest denominator campaign that appealed to the most ignorant and reactionary, and (of course) fail miserably, and then make her mark by refusing to accept the results. She can ride that for a while until she gets a gig on right-wing media, because everyone (over there) loves a nutcase as long as they’ve proven themselves by getting publicity for their nuttery.
That’s extremely plausible.
Too bad that in the marketplace of nut jobs, supply always vastly exceeds demand.
Anyone remember Christine O’Donnell?
Oh golly, that doesn’t even have the commas.
“JESUS
GUNS
BABIES”
…No, I’m pretty sure He doesn’t.
John Oliver did a bit on this yesterday (although he says in the video he recorded this before the vote was done…he still got it right). And yes, although it is titled “Rocks” this is the correct video.
She’s so much worse than:
JESUS
GUNS
BABIES
The crazy is real (for example, she wanted to demolish the Georgia Guidestones because they are part of the “Satanic Cabal”…you just can’t make this shit up).
Today she would be the Moderate in her race.
Well, yeah. Not like she’s a witch!
Pretty sure her slogan is a Warren Zevon song
Send Jesus guns and babies…
I had never heard of the Georgia Guidestones before this woman’s campaign against them came to my attention, and while I certainly don’t think they are part of some vast evil Satanist conspiracy…they do some pretty fucking weird.
I’d never heard of the Guidestones, either. But I have a friend who lives in Georgia and is a professor of astronomy (I only mention this because I think it’s cool, just like the fact that the wife of an old friend is the mayor of a little town in Colorado) who I asked about the Guidestones, and I could almost feel his eyes rolling via text message. He’s familiar with the Guidestones. Ironically, he’d never heard of Taylor.
Amusingly, the wikipedia article on the Georgia Guidestones, linked above, mentions Kandiss Taylor, calling her “a minor candidate.” It also looks like she’s far from the first person to call them Satanic.
I don’t think they’re Satanic, but there is more than a whiff of eugenics to some of their “guidelines.”
