“Kim Davis for President”: Scenes From a Pro-Kim Davis Rally From Hell
Almost 300 ralliers came out in support of county clerk-turned-anti-gay martyr Kim Davis yesterday, many of whom (at least according to their signs) appear to have spoken directly with God and/or Jesus himself.
The generally horrifying display of ignorance and hate took place outside of the Carter County Detention Center in Grayson, Kentucky, where Davis is currently being held for refusing to follow federal law. She could, of course, be freed should she decide to continue doing the job for which she was hired, but Kim Davis says nah.
Which is to say, she is now a formidable GOP contender. Thanks to Twitter, you can see her loyal constituents below.

According to NPR, the day ended with a bagpipe-led rendition of God Bless America, which we can only imagine was simultaneously loud, grating, and terrifying. In other words: The perfect end to the rally.
