Earlier this year, the Maine Supreme Court ruled that local school officials had violated the rights of a transgender student by not allowing her to use the girls’ restroom and Gordon Klingenschmitt was unsurprisingly opposed to this ruling, declaring on his “Pray In Jesus Name” program yesterday that what this student really needed was a spanking and an exorcism.
Noting that Nicole Maines has an identical twin brother, Klingenschmitt declared that she was possessed by a demonic spirit.
“One of those two boys is possessed by a demon,” he said, “and the parents are encouraging that and really what the parents ought to do is take that boy to an exorcist, take that boy to a minister or at least discipline the boy, maybe give him a spanking. Maybe dress him like a boy even if he complains and whines and says ‘I don’t wanna wear boys clothes.’ Too bad, son. You’re a boy, you gotta man up”:
