Salon.com: According to a reportfrom the Huffington Post, Ryan Zinke, a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Montana, recently called on his fellow conservatives to “focus on the real enemy.” Iran? Al Qaeda? North Korea? Nope! By “real enemy,” Zinke meant, of course, the “anti-Christ.”
But you may know her better as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
In addition to calling the potential 2016 presidential candidate the personification of pure evil, Zinke also went on to rail against President Obama (not quite the anti-Christ, apparently; maybe more of a demon of some sort) and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper (supernatural status: unknown).
Referring to Obama’s infamous “If you like your plan, you can keep it” line on healthcare reform, as well as Clapper’s “least untruthful” answer to Congress during an inquiry on the activities of the NSA, Zinke said it was “time to stop the lies.”
“Let’s talk about the truth,” he continued. “Who trusts the U.S. government? No one in this room. I’ve served in 25 nations. I’ve seen where people don’t trust their government. We’re there. In the military, the last option is to send in the SEALs.”
While Zinke’s complaints over Obama and Clapper’s dishonesty reside much closer to objective reality than his attack on Clinton, it appears this is not the first time he’s been responsible for incendiary rhetoric.
