Sometimes it feels like Republican candidates for office are doing their best to one-up each other when it comes to saying absolutely ridiculous things no one in their right mind would listen to. This election cycle, many seem to be showing off their absurdities with campaign videos where they drive big trucks, blow things up, and offer veiled threats towards their opponents. But a new GOP candidate is offering a different — if unfortunately familiar — kind of ridiculous.

Rachel Hamm, who hopes to become California’s new Secretary of State, is now claiming she entered the race because her son saw Jesus in a closet.
“I’ve been a prophetic dreamer so I had spent a lot of 2019 and 20 having a lot of political dreams that I was in office,” she willingly said in public video. “And because our youngest son, Ezekiel, is a seer, I went and got him and I said, ‘Hey, can you look around and see what you’re seeing?’”

Apparently Ezekiel knows how to get mom off his back, and after checking first her bedroom, then her bathroom, he went to the closet and told Hamm, “You’ve got a really big guy in your closet, and his power is pushing me to the ground.”
“He’d never had that reaction ever, to an angel,” she noted, before recounting the rest of Ezekiel’s experience.
“So at the very end, I asked [Ezekiel] what his name was. What angel is this, you know? And he said, ‘Immanuel,’” Hamm said. “That wasn’t an angel. It wasn’t an angel, that was Jesus himself. And so that’s why I’m running for Secretary of State.”
We already have more than enough politicians in office who claim they do things because their Christian god told them to, so electing a woman who makes life decisions based on what imaginary deities her son claims to see in a closet doesn’t sound like a particularly great way to improve life for millions of Californians.
This isn’t the first time Hamm, who has been endorsed by the MyPillow guy, has made outrageous comments in an attempt to win attention.
She previously claimed that a Satanist killed a raven on her lawn to “assert the power of Satan over my home,” which is a great way of saying “I’ve never met a Satanist and have no idea what Satanism is.” The Daily Beast also reports that she claimed to have dealt with a preschool that was really a front for Satanism and that her prayers caused a witch in her neighborhood to be murdered, although she apparently has no proof to offer that the murder even occurred.

Clearly we haven’t done a great job as a country in the past when it comes to making sure we elect politicians with some sort of grasp on reality, but it’s never too late to break the cycle.
