https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/7/5/2108620/-Michigan-s-Republican-secretary-of-state-nominee-warns-demon-possession-is-sexually-transmittedPart of the problem with Republicanism's new insistence on elevating far-right cranks with their own far-right radio shows or podcasts is that there are tapes. These things are recorded. God help us, there are tapes, and every damn time the Republican base props up one of these crackpots journalists go back, review those tapes, and find out that wowza the person who now wants to be in charge of some critical infrastructure thing sure spent a lot of time, say, ranting about frog sexuality or the like. There are always tapes.
Republican Kristina Karamo is her party's nominee for Michigan secretary of state. She's backed by Donald Trump because of course she is. She wants to run the state's elections. She has her own podcast. She thinks demon possession is a sexually transmitted disease. Im not kidding.
The CNN investigation of her podcast history delivers that precious moment of history: "If a person has demonic possessionI know it's gonna sound really crazy to me saying that for some people, thinking like what?! But having intimate relationships with people who are demonically possessed or oppressedI strongly believe that a person opens themselves up to possession. Demonic possession is real," Karamo said in 2020.
She also called abortion "child sacrifice," a "very satanic practice," and that's of particular note because Karamo is an anti-abortion zealot who served on the board of a local crisis pregnancy center, one of the fake clinics that prey on Americans seeking an end to their pregnancy by instead feeding them disinformation and stuffing them into databases of pregnant Americans kept by anti-abortion groups for their own purposes.
