Now the right is claiming Hurricane Michael was created by Democrats to revenge Kavanaugh


By Bil Browning · Wednesday, October 10, 2018

As soon as a natural disaster hits, Christian pastors start blaming LGBTQ people for the devastation. “It’s God’s judgement!” they proclaim to any idiot that will believe them. But this time, one religious right leader is changing the songbook. He says God told him that Hurricane Michael was caused by democrats retaliating for the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Christian “prophet” Mark Taylor has let loose with some doozies before – including last week’s claim that Hurricane Florence was created by liberals to “flood out the evidence” of voter fraud in Florida.

Taylor is a regular on Christian TV channels – especially Jim Bakker’s “End Times” show where he pitches buckets of dehydrated food so his flock can survive the tribulations – despite the fact that according to the Bible, true believers will already be raptured to heaven and wouldn’t need food.

In which case, why are conservatives opposing God and backing Kavanaugh?

Or do Democrats have the power to create a hurricane? If Democrats have the power to conger up hurricanes, then is God no longer all powerful?

These people need to get straight with their religion.

It is just another way to stir up hate among his brainwashed viewers. He knows that no deity told him anything. Imagine the right wing screeching if a liberal minister said it was because Kavanaugh was confirmed. There would be a congressional investigation tomorrow.
