Waco minister credited his prayer with killing Justice Ginsburg. Now, he retracted it

[RandySF]

Sooner or later in this bizarre campaign, somebody was going to say something truly foolish.

Enter minister Robert Henderson of Waco.

Henderson already talked about dreaming that President Donald Trump called him and made him a spiritual Cabinet member — and his running mate.

This time, the Radiant Church leader — a TV guest of televangelist Jim Bakker and once an opening act for Benny Hinn — said that on a visit to Washington, he led other pastors to pray for God to “shut the mouth of the lion” defending current abortion laws on the Supreme Court.

“Well, guess what?” he said last Sunday.

“Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away. .... That’s no accident.”

Besides the egotistical fantasy that his prayer somehow affected Ginsburg’s 11-year battle with pancreatic cancer, I think Brother Henderson might have missed the point.

1. How does a demagogue take back a statement like that?

He should be publicly shunned and shamed by any religious folk with a public following. Any day now...

What!? That happens every 5-10 minutes in this campaign.
