Drenda Keesee (R), a right-wing pastor and broadcaster, said that she’s running for office because Jesus personally told her to.
Said Keesee: “He was holding my cheeks, and I was holding his cheeks and it was darkened but I could see him. He was there and we were holding each other’s face.”
She continued: “I get this call that I’m supposed to run for office and I’m like, ‘What am I going to do, Lord? Am I supposed to do this? Are you asking me to run for office?'”
