Rick Saccone Is Running For Senate Because God Wants Christians To Rule Over Us
By Kyle Mantyla | March 3, 2017 11:30 am
Pennsylvania Republican state Rep. Rick Saccone held a rally in Harrisburg earlier this week where he announced that he intends to run for the U.S. Senate against Democratic Sen. Bob Casey Jr. next year. Religious Right pseudo-historian David Barton and Sam Rohrer of the American Pastors Network joined Saccone at his rally, and yesterday Saccone appeared on Rohrers Stand In The Gap radio program where he explained that he is launching this bid for higher office because God wants Christians who will rule with the fear of God in them to rule over us.
(snip)
God has set out a plan for us, he continued. He wants godly men and women in all aspects of life. He wants people who will rule with the fear of God in them to rule over us. And if they dont, then the evil side will take over and the government will control and run over the good people and so they have to stand up, thats just part of it. If you dont have good people in government, then youll have bad people in governmentand when bad people are reigning over us, the people will not be happy.
