And you thought Donald Trump was insane.
In the lovely state of Ohio, on the West Bank of the Maumee River, lies the quaint city of Toledo, Ohio. It is a stop for those traveling from New York to Chicago and has earned itself the nickname of the “Glass City,” for its glassing industry. The city is rich with culture, and what it lacks in amusement parks, it makes up for in potholes.
At least, that’s what Opal Covey feels about the city. Opal is running for mayor of Toledo for the fifth time this year (she’s lost the four previous elections) on the platform of adding amusement parks to bring in money, and fixing those dang potholes. Her other platform is the fact that she’s a miracle worker sent by God to speak in tongues to His people.
You could say that Opal’s technique is a little unorthodox. She is a self-described “prophetess” who is running as a non-endorsed Republican.
Our favorite part of this story is the fact that Opal speaks in tongues and assures her “supporters” that she already won the race. In 2013, Opal says she clearly got the majority of the votes, but her seat was robbed due to “government corruption.”
Therefore she has the following message for us:
Either Opal is elected mayor, or God comes down from heaven for a visit. November is shaping up to be a really good month.
