There’s one more question that someone should ask Mike Braun [FN1], at tonight’s debate with Democratic Party nominee Jennifer McCormick. Beckwith, in a selfie video, said only Christians have the capacity to be moral. [FN2] Beckwith’s never recanted that statement. 1/7
Question: if elected governor, will Braun tolerate discrimination by Beckwith? Beckwith, the past few days, has filled in any blank spaces on his resume of prejudice, saying Hoosiers can choose between “godly boldness” and “the Jezebel spirit.” [FN3] 2/7
“Jezebel” is “an impudent, shameless, or morally unrestrained woman.” [FN4] For Beckwith to use the term to refer to an opponent is disgusting. Democratic Party nominees for Indiana state-wide offices consist of three women, one of whom is Black and one man. [FN5] 3/7
Beckwith is one of four white males from magaGOP who try to out-Jesus each other. Will Braun tolerate Beckwith’s bigotry? #BrainsNotBraun And follow Cassie Jackson on Facebook! 4/7
