We're sure that since she said "Jesus-like" that Republicans will vote for this loon. Hahaha! Sad but true. Here's the story.
Florida GOP Congressional Candidate Says She Was Abducted By Jesus-Like Aliens
A Republican congressional candidate from Florida has made
some out-of-this-world claims.
Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, one of nearly a dozen candidates
hoping to win the U.S. House seat currently held by retiring Republican Rep.
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, claims she was abducted by aliens who reminded her of
Jesus Christ, according to newly resurfaced interviews.
“I went in. There were some round seats that were there, and
some quartz rocks that controlled the ship ― not like airplanes,” Rodriguez
Aguilera said, according to the interviews cited by the Miami Herald.

In the interviews, Rodriguez Aguilera claims she was taken
at the age of 7 by three tall, blond space people who have communicated with
her telepathically at times since.
She said the aliens reminded her of the Christ the Redeemer
statue in Rio de Janeiro.
“God is a universal energy, not a person,” the aliens told
her, according to The Washington Post. “It’s in everything. God talks to people
and they understand it in different ways, but there’s only one religion.”
She called the Herald report an “attack piece,” according to
Miami ABC station Local 10. However, she did not mention whether she believed
she had been abducted by aliens or if she had been in telepathic contact with
them.
Rodriguez Aguilera issued a statement to the Herald that
also did not confirm or deny her earlier comments on being abducted but noted
that Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan both claimed to have seen
UFOs.
She also cited Stephen Hawking as someone who believes in
the possibility of life beyond Earth.
Hawking, the famed theoretical physicist, has indeed said
there could be intelligent life elsewhere and has even warned that such an
advanced civilization could wipe out the human race. But Hawking is on record
as saying he doesn’t believe aliens have visited the Earth.
“I’m discounting claims that UFOs contain aliens,” he said
in 2012. “Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos?”
The Miami New Times notes that Rodriguez Aguilera is one of
three Republicans and eight Democrats seeking Ros-Lehtinen’s seat in next
year’s midterm election
