Even Kansas residents might be feeling like they’re “not in Kansas anymore.”

In what seems like a national contest among Democrat candidates to out-woke each other, Kansas gubernatorial candidate Cindy Holscher steps into the ring with a hot take on Jesus.

The state senator and current Democrat gubernatorial nominee made the controversial statement in March 2023 over debate on drag performances in front of minors, Newsweek reported.

“I have no idea if Jesus was trans, gay, straight, etc.,” she reportedly wrote on X, and his currently making the rounds.

Republican Kansas gubernatorial candidate Ty Masterson posted Holscher’s “offensive” statement on X as “proof” she’s too radical for the Sunflower State.

If anyone needs proof that Cindy Holscher is a radical, here it is. She mocked Jesus Christ to defend drag shows for kids, and she’s so out of touch, that she doesn’t understand why most Kansans find that offensive. That’s not your parents’ Democrat, that’s the most radical… pic.twitter.com/XUr2opbwxk

Holscher was pushing back against a Republican-backed measure seeking to expand penalties for those who promote obscenity to minors at the time of her statement.

“She mocked Jesus Christ to defend drag shows for kids, and she’s never apologized,” Masterson told the Washington Examiner.

While presumed Democrat X users slammed Masterson for calling out his woke opponent’s “offensive” take, plenty more agreed it’s a red flag.

Okay Kansas voters. What are your thoughts about a person with this ideology? Is this a person you want making executive decisions for your state? What say you?

Somewhere Jesus is thinking, “I gave you the Sermon on the Mount and THIS is what we’re debating?” 😂

Not only that, according to a post by Hoslcher on X, citing Nate Silver’s prediction, the Kansas gubernatorial race is a “toss-up.”
