EXPOSED: Iowa Dem Minister DEFENDS Wiccan Witch Prayer, Claims Jesus Would Approve

A Democratic candidate in Iowa is facing fierce backlash after defending a Wiccan witch's prayer at a government meeting, claiming that Jesus Christ himself would have approved of the pagan ritual. The controversy threatens to derail Sarah Trone Garriott's political ambitions in a state where faith-based voters hold significant sway.

Garriott, who incredibly serves as a Lutheran minister while simultaneously pushing radical leftist politics, made the shocking defense when questioned about her support for allowing Wiccan practitioners to deliver invocations at official government proceedings. Rather than backing down, she doubled down on the controversial stance.

"Jesus engaged with pagans multiple times," Garriott reportedly said, attempting to justify her position by twisting Scripture to fit her woke agenda. This brazen misrepresentation of Christ's ministry has left many Christians questioning how someone claiming to be a minister could so blatantly distort biblical teachings.

The audacity of using Jesus Christ to defend witchcraft prayers in government shows just how far the radical left will go to push their anti-Christian agenda.

This isn't just about religious tolerance – it's about a pattern of Democrats weaponizing government institutions to marginalize traditional Christian values while elevating fringe spiritual practices. Patriots across Iowa are asking: if Garriott can't even defend basic Christian principles as a minister, how can voters trust her to represent their values in office?

The timing couldn't be worse for Democrats already struggling in battleground states where President Trump's America First message continues to resonate. With the Trump-Vance administration successfully rolling back woke policies across federal agencies, voters are increasingly rejecting candidates who prioritize radical ideologies over common sense governance.

Iowa Republicans are seizing on this controversy as proof that Democrats remain completely out of touch with mainstream American values. While President Trump champions religious liberty for Christians, Democrats like Garriott seem more interested in promoting pagan rituals than protecting the faith traditions that built this nation.

Will Iowa voters reject this assault on Christian values, or will they allow another radical Democrat to mock their beliefs while claiming to represent them?

I've been serving in ministry for 25 years and this breaks my heart. How can someone claim to represent Christ while defending practices that directly contradict His teachings? This minister needs to seriously examine his faith.

Same here Mike. It's heartbreaking to see how far some have strayed from biblical truth.

Not surprised it's Iowa - the state's been sliding left for years. When will Christians wake up and stop voting for people who openly mock our beliefs?

This is exactly what's wrong with the modern church - ministers who don't even understand basic Christianity. Jesus would absolutely NOT approve of witchcraft, which is explicitly condemned throughout Scripture.

Exactly! Deuteronomy 18:10-12 makes it crystal clear what God thinks about these practices.
