Victor Marx’s Wild Rise to GOP Governor | Denver News
from Denver News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Victor Marx, a preacher turned Republican gubernatorial candidate in Colorado, is winning praise for his wild claims—killing a man at seven, terrorizing a psychiatrist, and doing phone exorcisms—while critics worry his “action-movie evangelicalism” could unravel the GOP’s down-ballot chances. With a dad who invented Cajun karate, a self-proclaimed seventh-degree black belt, and a resume full of dubious rescue stats, Marx has built a cult-like following, selling spiritual warfare guides and vitamin products. His rise reflects a troubling trend: Republicans are increasingly nominating extreme outsiders who fuse divine authority with violence, a path Marx predicts will become global. Some fear his nomination will tear the party apart—and maybe even their friendships. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
