UPDATE. Homophobe and transphobe Vicky Hartzler (i.e., fake Christian) wants to be Missouri's U.S. Senator

Kansas City Star "Morning Rush" email news update

Over more than 11 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and six before that in the Missouri House, Hartzler has always attempted to run God’s way. \ 

Supporters say faith is her political north star, a guide for the decisions politicians are forced to confront in an institution often speckled with immorality. Opponents say her frequent references to her faith are in the service of a political agenda, one that has specifically brought harm to the LGBTQ community. 

Hartzler is not so much at the forefront of the modern religious right as she is a loyal Christian soldier in their larger battle for the soul of America. She’s ridden the wave of the movement, gaining power as the Republican Party has grown more heavily dependent on its conservative Christian base.  [emphasis added]
