Citing an article from CNS that reported that First Lady Michelle Obama would be “hosting an event on Tuesday to mark the Hindu festival of Diwali, or ‘festival of lights,’ to honor Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity,” Bryan Fischer warned that Obama was inviting “demons into the White House.”

“This is a counterfeit religion,” Fischer said. “It is an Eastern religion. It is, in essence, an occult religion. It’s a counterfeit, a false alternative to Christianity. It ultimately represents the doctrine of demons, that is what you have with Hinduism and now this is being celebrated in the White House.”

Fischer concluded by renewing his call for America to elect a Christian president in 2016 who will bring clergy into the White House who will “spiritually cleanse” of all the demonic spirits after the Obama’s leave:

We assume that Fischer called for the White House to be similarly cleansed after President George W. Bush left office, since he did the same thing.
