A man who makes his money grifting in religion and politics, anti-abortion activist and perennial losing candidate Randall Terry has been named to the top of the ticket for the Constitution Party, one of those groups that manages to get on ballots around the country, no one ever learns about, but still manages to pull in hundreds of thousands of voters.
Per Politico, the founder of Operation Rescue thinks jumping into the Presidential race at a time when voters overwhelming support wider access to reproductive care will benefit his chances. “We are running for President in the effort to make child killing by abortion the number one voter issue in America,” his 1990s-era design campaign website says. “We will show the horror of aborted children to the American people, and call on Christians to REPENT for having voted for Joe Biden.” Incidentally, Terry’s Operation Rescue changed its name in 1993 to “Operation Save America,” a brand closely resembling a slogan of a Petulent Persimmon also running for office.
For his running mate, Terry selected Rev. Stephen Broden, founder of the Fair Park Bible Fellowship in Dallas Texas and also a political novice. An early adopter of the Tea Party movement, Broden founded Ebony Berean, an organization that coaches Black ministers and preachers how to avoid becoming “woke” and how to win conservative “culture wars.”
