Jackson Mayor Tony Yarber: We can pray potholes away

Quote:

Yes....I believe we can pray potholes away. Moses prayed and a sea opened up. #iseeya #itrustHim #prayerworks

Apparently he was totally being serious too.

Subsequent butthurt tweets:

Quote:

The disbelief of the noisy doesn't diminish the power of the Father. #prayerworks

Quote:

Normally, Christians are criticized for judgmental sentiment....I see there are just as many outside the boat who are just as guilty.

Quote:

I've never been retweeted so much...And to think....Prayer did it! #prayerworks

A reminder that Republicans don't always have a monopoly on pandering to religious kooks (in this case I suspect the mayor himself is a religious kook, not just pandering to them).
