OF COURSE Dr. Chaps Wants To "Exorcise" Caitlyn Jenner

Our friends at Right Wing Watch publicizing Colorado GOP Rep. Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt’s latest lowlight today, and frankly we’re surprised it took him this long to take on America’s most famous transgender celebrity icon:

On his latest “Pray In Jesus Name” program, Religious Right activist and Colorado Republican lawmaker Gordon Klingenschmitt declared that Caitlyn Jenner needs an exorcism to rid her of the demonic “spirit of insanity.”

Responding to false reports that Jenner is planning to transition back to male, Klingenschmitt asserted that “it would be a dumb statement for someone to try to say that he wants to stay a woman because he’s not a woman. He’s never been one. His DNA has never changed. He still has male XY chromosomes. He is not a woman, he is a man. In fact, he still has male parts, I’m told.”

Now obviously, obviously, Chaps isn’t going to consider Caitlyn Jenner’s transition from living as a man to a woman to be legitimate. That was as predictable as sunrise. Politically, we’re not even willing to say this will hurt Rep. Klingenschmitt in his upcoming primary election to succeed Senate President Bill Cadman in SD-12–in fact, knowing what we know about the electorate down there, it should net him plenty of votes.

But perhaps in recognition of Chaps’ upcoming primary against loquacious ex-Rep. Bob Gardner, we note that Chaps didn’t call for Caitlyn Jenner to be drowned in the sea, or imply that she wants to behead Christians. No folks, Jenner is just the victim of garden-variety demonic possession:

“The spirit of insanity inside of this man, Bruce Jenner,” Klingenschmitt said, has made Jenner choose sin and “has brought him down a path of destruction … It is a mental illness. Of course, we think it is a demonic illness. The man needs an exorcism.”

See? Chaps can sort of tone it down. Exorcism is a lot nicer than execution after all, and more fun to watch too.

We’re just speculating about that last part.

You have to wonder what happened to Chaps to turn him into the Perv Hunter. I assume he is exorcising his own demons.

  His self-reported biography would impel one to compassion, if he weren't such a self-righteous asshole now. He was abandoned as a toddler, went into foster care, and ultimately adopted at age 3 by the Klingenschmitt family, who, among other things, baptized him as a Catholic.
  
  So it's easy to infer that he may have been molested in those early years. But plenty of people have those traumatic experiences, and yet do not spend the rest of their lives trying to stigmatize and victimize strangers out of prejudice.

    Yes, and some people, like Loeb and Leopold, seem to live sheltered lives and become monsters anyway. But the great majority of child molesters seem to have been molested themselves. Human beings are the great variable and I will never claim to understand them, Donald Trump excepted. He's just a 100 percent asshole.

Or maybe he’s giving his demons some exercise, B.S.

Man who protested unisex bathrooms at Target kept a 13 year old girl shackled in his basement in Toledo, Ohio. No, really.

Wouldn't it be great if this was surprising?

  I saw this on QueerNation a couple of days ago and thought, "Don't that just figure."

What is surprising is how willing he was to draw attention to himself. Neither story indicates the girl was sexually abused, but that's probably the next revelation.

The only person needing an exorcism here is Rep. Klingenschmitt himself since he has obviously been brainwashed by, and into, a religious cult.
