E.W. Jackson is running to become lieutenant governor of the 12th-most populous state in the United States of America.
He’s the nominee of a party dominated by white males. He’s an African-American clergyman.
I submit that if this the GOP’s idea of outreach in an effort to broaden its base, it has just taken a gigantic step – make that many gigantic steps – backward.

The stuff that’s pouring out of this gentleman’s mouth is simply stunning, as the attached link illustrates.
I’m rendered virtually speechless by the rants put out by this individual.
Here’s another link that explains how Jackson believes yoga leads to satanic possession:

Jackson also has said President Obama views the world through a “Muslim perspective,” and has compared Planned Parenthood to the Ku Klux Klan.
This, folks, represents precisely the wrong kind of outreach for a once-great political party.
