Showing Original Post only (View all)Bombshell clip of struggling Republican saying Jesus is NOT the son of God goes viral in crucial red state race [View all]
https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15782731/vivek-ramaswamy-ohio-governor-jesus.htmlA resurfaced clip of Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy explaining that he doesn't believe Jesus is 'the' son of God could further imperil the Republican's prospects.
He's locked in a tight general election race with Democrat Amy Acton, despite Ohio voters not elevating a Democrat to the governor's mansion in 20 years.

Ramaswamy is Hindu and, as a 2024 presidential candidate, was filmed talking to an Iowa voter about his religious beliefs.
'So I'll be very honest, it's not a hard question. In our faith tradition, Jesus Christ is a son of God,' Ramaswamy told a voter during a campaign stop in Nevada, Iowa. 'I know that is different than saying he is the son of God. But that is my view of Jesus Christ.'
Ramaswamy, who jumped into politics after making a name for himself in the tech world as an anti-woke crusader, then added, 'One true God, in many forms.'
'The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ,' the white male voter then said.
Ramaswamy responded by first saying, 'I think that that is the path,' before correcting himself.
'That is a path to heaven, is the way we look at it,' he said. 'Belief in God is what we say. Belief in the one true God.'
As the clip picked up steam online, conservative and MAGA-aligned accounts bashed his comments, with some Christians pushing him to 'find Jesus.'

Well, he's more honest to his own religion than most Christians are to theirs... I'll give him that.

Republicans cannot win without large turnout from "evangelicals" (politicals not religious) because the policies suck
