Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson Prayed Before A NASCAR Race. The Left’s Going to HATE What He Said.

John Bickley

Every few months Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson tweaks the media. His most recent statement to cause a little stir is a pre-race prayer before the Sprint Cup Series race in Texas Saturday in which the conservative Christian thanked God for “Bibles and guns” and prayed that He’d put a “Jesus man in the White House.”

Robertson’s participation in the event came in part because Duck Commander is the title sponsor of the race. (Yahoo notes that NASCAR is the only major sport that still consistently holds a pre-event prayer.) As he’s known and loved for, Robertson didn’t worry too much about political correctness in his brief pre-race prayer, praising God for guns and “founding our nation,” asking for protection for the U.S. military, and praying for the election of a true “Jesus man” as the next president.
