Mary Lou Bruner is a real peach.

The front-runner for the GOP nomination to represent District 9 on the Texas Board of Education – who has captured 48 percent of the vote thus far – has some interesting opinions on a variety of topics.

Bruner enjoys taking to Facebook to air her myriad opinions – although most of these have disappeared from her page. Luckily, through the power of screenshots, these opinions are preserved for posterity.



In a Facebook post. Bruner called President Barack Obama a "gay prostitute in his twenties" and the money he earned is "how he paid for his drugs":

Bruner also condemns the religion of Islam. "The USA should ban Islam and stop all immigration ... from Muslim countries because Islam's stated goal is to conquer the USA and kill the infidels," she wrote on Facebook in November, according to a screenshot taken by Texas Freedom Network.

Another screenshot, taken by Gawker, reveals Bruner's opinions, posted in May, about the United Nations' "Global plan" to "reduce the population" by employing "World War III, mass faminine [sic], mass disease epidemic or pandemic, or Nuclear Bomb."





And here's Bruner's on climate change in January 2015: "Just think about how much money the government has wasted educating the people about the government hoax which officials first called 'Global Warming.' Government later changed the term to 'Climate Change' because government lies or predictions did not come true, and the people were becoming very suspicious because the world wasn't getting warmer."

Bruner is not a fringe candidate; she is the front-runner, narrowly missing avoiding a runoff by 2 percentage points.
