Christian conservative Gordon
Klingenschmitt on Wednesday lashed out at voters who rejected his bid
for a Colorado Senate seat.
Klingenschmitt, who was elected to the
Colorado House of Representatives in 2014, is the host of the YouTube
program Pray in Jesus Name, where he routinely voices his
radical views.
Bob Gardner won Tuesday's Republican
primary for the 12th District, trampling Klingenschmitt by
nearly 24 percentage points.
Klingenschmitt responded to his loss by
saying that “God's will is not always done in this world.”
“I work hard to establish God's
kingdom, not my own, and, as you know, God's will is not always done
in this world,” he told a small crowd of supporters, The
Gazette reported.
A vocal opponent of LGBT rights,
Klingenschmitt has said that Jesus
will overrule the Supreme Court on same-sex marriage and that
homosexuality
carries a “penalty” that amounts to “spiritual death.”
He's
also called for an exorcism for Caitlyn Jenner.
