Congressional Hopeful Blames Troubles On The Devil
Yep, this is the kind of Congressman that would fit right into the Republican caucus these days.

I suppose the good news it that he is loosing and he knows it although his next claim could be that satan was contracted by liberals to do this to him because they hate America and they hate God.


SALT LAKE CITY Republican congressional hopeful John Jacob believes the devil is impeding his efforts to unseat five-term Representative Chris Cannon.

He says there's another force that wants to keep him from going to Washington and the devil is what it is.

Jacob says that since he decided to run for Congress, Satan has disrupted his business deals, preventing him from putting as much money into the race as he had hoped.

Jacob said during a Wednesday immigration event that the devil was working against him, then reiterated his belief yesterday in a meeting with The Salt Lake Tribune editorial board.

He says there's been a lot of adversity, and there's no question he has had experiences that believes are due to an outside force.
