INDIANAPOLIS — Welcome back to The Indiana Democratic Party’s weekly series called We Listened So You Don’t Have To: The Micah Beckwith Weird Weekly Roundup, which serves as a one-stop-shop that summarizes all the weird, offbeat, and simply gross things Beckwith says. Prepare yourself people: It gets weird over there. Bonus: At the end of every Roundup, we’ll include the cherry on top, AKA that week’s weirdest moment.
This edition’s items include (and we’re sorry in advance):
And the cherry on top?
Beckwith was a guest on a rightwing Christian podcast hosted by two sisters self titled the Resistance Chicks. During the podcast, Micah discussed the role of lieutenant governor and argued that it should have more power than it is given:
“In that moment when [LG Suzanne Crouch] said the governor appointed me, I heard the lord say ‘force the conversation. Who does this office belong to?’ …We have unjustly taken the authority away from the people and given it to the governor, and that’s still a sin against God.”
Sounds like Braun will have a hard time getting his divisive, controlling lieutenant governor to follow his agenda if they are elected to office. Good luck with that one, Mike!
