Rep. Paul Broun may be gone after his bid for Senate failed Tuesday, but Mother Jones argues argues that one of the men seeking to replace him is actually worse.
Jody Hice is in a runoff with trucking company owner Mike Collins of Jackson for Broun’s 10th District seat. Says the liberal magazine:
In his seven years in Congress, Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) distinguished himself by calling biology “lies straight from the pit of hell” and accusing President Barack Obama of establishing a secret national police force to push a Marxist dictatorship. But the man who may replace Broun in Washington could outdo him.
In a 2012 book, that candidate—pastor and talk radio host Jody Hice—alleges the gay community has a secret plot to recruit and sodomize children. In It’s Now or Never: A Call to Reclaim America, Hice also asserts that supporters of abortion rights are worse than Hitler and compares gay relationships to bestiality and incest. He proposes that Muslims be stripped of their First Amendment rights.
Good times.
