In Colorado’s gubernatorial race, Republicans nominated a ministry leader who says he offers exorcisms over the phone. He also doesn’t want to talk about how many people he’s killed.
No, seriously.

Voters in Colorado haven’t elected a Republican governor in more than two decades, and now that this year’s GOP gubernatorial primary has been called, it seems the streak will continue for four more years. The Associated Press reported:
Marine Corps veteran Victor Marx won the Republican primary for Colorado governor on Thursday, inching past a state senator who had the establishment’s backing.
Marx, described as a “high risk humanitarian” and the fastest gun disarmer in the world, defeated Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, his stiffest competition, in the June 30 election.
.....Asked in May how many people he has killed since then, the GOP candidate paused before telling Kyle Clark, an anchor at the NBC affiliate in Denver,
“Does it matter?” He went on to call it an “odd question.”
Victor Marx, the Republican frontrunner for Colorado Governor, claims he was forced to kill a man at age 7 and talks about the necessity of killing people related to his “high risk missionary†work. But he wouldn’t tell me how many people he’s killed.
“Does it matter?†Marx asked.

(For the record, there are lingering questions about whether Marx actually killed a man as a child, and according to local law enforcement, there are unsolved murders from that time period.)
In case that weren’t quite enough, in the same interview, Marx explained that he also performs exorcisms, which he added can be completed over the phone.
Where did they find this crazy person? This person will be on the ballot in Colorado in November
