Mom accused of child abuse hauls seven kids to Oregon for surreal performance before armed militants

A Kansas mom who took her singing kids to entertain the armed militants at the occupied wildlife refuge in Oregon once had a son taken from her after he ran away because he was “unhappy” with the “wholesome and pure path” she had planned for him.

According to the Kansas City Star, Odalis Sharp, of Auburn, Kan., performed on Saturday at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, currently held by armed occupiers led by Ammon Bundy.

The Kansas mom also took her singing brood to the Nevada Bundy Ranch in 2014, when many of the same militants were engaged in an armed uprising against the federal government.

“We’re here to sing for the Lord,” Sharp told the appreciative Oregon militants. “This is a very worthwhile cause, and we just hope to make a difference and we hope to just be able to bless the hearts of the people through the songs.”

Who else is going to entertain the troops? Ted Nugent comes to mind.
List your favorites RW entertainers.

From this dysfunctional mother (is there a father involved?) to the militia guy who makes a living off foster children.
