A biblical sign? Anti-trump campaigner makes satanic claim about pence

The fly that landed on Vice President Mike Pence's head for two minutes during the US vice presidential debate was a "mark of the devil," according to a leading anti-Trump

campaigner. Steve Schmidt, a former staffer for George Bush, made a series of bizarre biblical claims during a post-debate analysis's on MSNBC. The satanic claim prompted swift ridicule

online, claiming it was a sign of "unhinged" anti-Trump supporters. Mr Schmidt stunned MSNBC host Ari Melber after suggesting that the fly which landed on Vice President Pence’s

head during the event was a “sign of the devil”. He explained: “I don’t think it’s ever a good sign when a fly lands on your head for two minutes. “You know that’s a sign all through the

It landed on Mike Pence, and it says something. Mr Schmidt is a so-called 'Never Trumper' - the name for former Republicans who are campaigning against Donald Trump in the

Project, which aims to stop President Trump from being re-elected. Mr Schmidt led the 2008 presidential campaign for John McCain against Barack Obama.  The fly, which landed on Vice

President Pence's head for more than two minutes during the debate with Kamala Harris, sparked an online frenzy at the time.
