Mark Taylor: Hurricane Maria Was Created to Generate Refugees Who Will 'Turn Florida Blue'

Mark Taylor: Hurricane Maria Was Created to Generate Refugees Who Will ‘Turn Florida Blue’
Kyle MantylaBy Kyle Mantyla | May 7, 2019 1:36 pm

Mark Taylor, the radical right-wing conspiracy theorist and so-called “firefighter prophet” about whom Liberty University made a movie last year, appeared on “The MC Files” program last night, where he asserted that Hurricane Maria, the 2017 storm that devastated Puerto Rico, was man-made and created in order to generate thousands of refugees who would move to the mainland and help “turn Florida blue.”

Taylor, who has repeatedly asserted that the Illuminati creates and controls hurricanes, claimed that “the Lord talked to me about this” and told him that Democrats are doing everything they can to target elections in Florida and Texas.

“What the Lord showed me is that there is a plan in place to try to steal Florida and Texas over to blue,” he said. “Yes, we control the weather a lot of times, guys. We can generate these storms … If you’ll notice, right after the hurricane hit down in Puerto Rico and they had that big scandal with the mayor down there and all that stuff. They were trying to move half a million Puerto Ricans into Florida as a humanitarian effort. Give me a break! It was not a humanitarian effort, guys. That’s why they were holding the food up—that’s why the mayor was holding the food up—so they could justify sending them to Florida.”

“They had plenty of supplies down there, they wouldn’t release them,” Taylor said. “It was because they’re trying to turn Florida blue.”

a crazy situation at a teachers' college where a young lady had a seizure and some of the so called teachers (Fundies) were trying to get the demon out of her body. The sensible group called for an ambulance and the college nurse while the ignorant asses were shouting all sorts of crap.
She told them to shut up and deal with a medical emergency. The most frightening part of this is that the most vocal of the idiots is a Deputy Principal of the Teachers' College.
I don't know which group is worse is worse - the conspiracy theory lunatics or the evangelical lunatics.

ambulances, EMTs and emergency rooms with staff and equipment and medicines all ready to accomplish what the fundies speaking gibberish wanted the Supreme to provide.

They've never seen the kind of miracles they tirelessly look for, but it just doesn't seem to register: G*d works his own way in spite of our silly of asking for His help.

Modern medicine is a miracle, too.

why don't they just control the voting machines instead?

If Democrats had the powers of the Illuminati, why would they not have political power?

Something doesn't ring true here!

It's painfully obvious Mark Taylor is schizophrenic.
Paranoid schizophrenic.

The worst part?
At the YouTube videos this guy appears at, the comments are from obvious cult groupies.
