The Texas GOP wants their next Speaker of the House to be a "true Christian." One candidate for the job says he's not anti-Jew or a racist:

My favorite person that’s [sic] ever been on this earth is a Jew. How can they possibly think that if Jesus Christ is a Jew, and he’s my favorite person that’s [sic] ever been on this earth?

Emphasis from the author of the piece. He also says he got into politics to put Christian conservatives into office. "They're the people that [sic] do the best jobs over all."

He'd better hope that no non-Jews ever serve him food, or cut his hair, or work on his car, or care for him in the hospital.

I hope he gets the job, I really do. Texas deserves him.
