GOP Hawaiian House candidate in most crazed epic meltdown ever

This makes Christine O'Donnell, Louis Gohmert, Michele Bachmann, Donald Trump and Sharron Angle all look like well-balanced, sane individuals:

Kaaihue also called Hawaii a “Devil Democratic State,” condemned a “local dumb mentality” and said that if “my neighbor Gov. Ige and his Japanese constituents” would settle a legal dispute over land that she said she is involved with, she would drop out of the race.

“Then Hawaii, YOU can have YOUR so-called ‘perfect’ pathetic Hindu 1000 GODS leader along with YOUR pathetic ‘career politician’ Buddhist Hanabusa, and your pathetic American Traitor, And my family and I will go our merrily way,” Kaaihue said. She also ridiculed Gabbard’s “moon-crater cheeks.”

Gabbard is Hindu, Hanabusa is Buddhist and Ige is Japanese-American. Kaaihue is a Christian running on a platform based on instilling religion in government.
...
Kaaihue said there was a war going on between “the righteous and the unrighteous, between God and Satan.” Rohfing’s denouncement of her candidacy, she suggested, demonstrated “how we are being deceived by Satan, the biggest liar and deceiver.”

The head of the Hawaiian GOP asks, "God, what did I do to deserve this?"

"Blue Hawaii": it's not just an Elvis movie!

I can guarantee you that HI's state religion won't be Christianity! Has she seen HI's demographics? Only %35 of Hawaiians consider themselves Christian.

But no, it's some Christian complaining about "foreign" religions in Hawaii. Because that makes sense.

I think Hawaii may have an immigration problem. Maybe they should build a wall.

To paraphrase James Mitchner, the Christian missionaries came to Hawaii to do good, and wound up doing quite well.

But used to be married to a Hawaiian, whose whole ohana are shunning her.

She's from the continent btw.

But yes, she is a horrible person.

According to the final Candidate Report posted August 25 by the Office of Elections, Angela Kaaihue filed at the last minute as a Democrat in the CD1 Special Election. Kaaihue is also the Republican nominee for CD2 in the General Election being held the same day.


UPDATE: Dems Will Seek Removal of Kaaihue from Ballot

CB Aug 26, 2016: Democratic Party officials said Friday they would file a complaint with the clerk of the 1st Circuit Court because Kaaihue is not a registered Democrat. “We already sent a letter to Ms. Kaaihue letting her know that, under our bylaws, her candidacy in the Republican Party was grounds for mandatory expulsion,” Party Chair Tim Vandeveer said Friday. “She is not a member of the Democratic Party of Hawaii.”



UPDATE: STATEMENT FROM CHAIR FRITZ ROHLFING ON TERMINATION OF HAWAII REPUBLICAN PARTY MEMBERSHIP OF ANGELA KAAIHUE

News Release from Hawaii Republican Party

HONOLULU (August 28, 2016) - Chair Fritz Rohlfing released the following statement:

"In accordance with the Rules of the Hawaii Republican Party, our Party has terminated the membership of Ms. Kaaihue based on her public statements on social media that she is 'not a Republican'. Additionally, Ms. Kaaihue has filed as a Democrat in the upcoming Special Election for the remainder of the term of the late U.S. Representative Mark Takai in Congressional District 1."
