Republican Senate Candidate Compares Himself to Jesus

As some of you who read the website regularly may know, I live in Arizona.

As you may also know, this is my last week writing for Chicks on the Right. Now that I’ll be spending my time doing far less political work, I would gladly (eventually) go back to my roots and do consultant work! I mean, anyone can come up with this, right: First order of business? Do not, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, compare yourself to Jesus.

YOU DO NOT NEED A CAMPAIGN CONSULTANT TO TELL YOU THIS.

But apparently, this guy does:

Arizona Republican Dan McCarthy is running for Senate and he just compared himself to Christ: “I am qualified for the job. Jesus was only 33 when he saved the world.” pic.twitter.com/zEL6TtoYmY

Oy, dude. Come on.

He got called out, and instead of backing down… he actually did it again!

DUUUDE.

Listen, I don’t know anything about this guy, what he stands for, or what his platform is. He could be a great candidate, I don’t know.

What I DO know is you shouldn’t compare yourself to Jesus…and you should DEFINITELY not do it twice.

Well-known Twitter user Comfortably Smug came after him, as did his followers:

Doubling down on comparing yourself to Jesus Christ AND picking a fight with @ComfortablySmug in the same tweet seems… unwise #AZsen pic.twitter.com/t4VNgp82my

His response?

I really don’t think the GOP sent anyone after you, mah boy.

My mentions are blowing up, but the REAL tragedy is all the RINO think-pieces that aren’t being typed up right now.

RIP the GOP intern pool’s content goals for the day.

*Sigh*

You’re really not helping yourself here, buddy.
