As the impeachment of President Donald Trump winds down with a likely acquittal, a new survey by Occidental Public Polling shows most Republicans believe it’s because of divine intervention.

According to an OPP poll, 80 percent of Republicans believe that the impeachment failed because conservatives prayed harder.

Some of the people who responded to the poll also backed this up.

“We are the party of prayer and faith,” said Violet Watson, a GOP supporter from Biloxi, Miss. “Trump has been a strong advocate for the Christian community. He, and his third wife, Melania, have strong family values. I’m not even sure Obama was a Christian.”

Bob Gillis, another Trump supporter, also agreed.

“There were thousands of prayer warriors pulling for Trump,” said Gillis, a resident of Denver. Colo. “The Lord heard and shut down the impeachment. The Democrats worship the Devil, they want to take prayer out of school, kill babies and let boys use the women’s bathroom.”

This type of conspiratorial thinking about Democrats is widespread among evangelicals who overwhelmingly back Trump.

Chris McDonald, a fundamentalist conspiracy theorist, recently blamed the death of basketball star Kobe Bryant on Hillary Clinton. He also claimed that Hillary was a witch.

“We all know that it is pretty much a given that Mrs. HRC … is a witch,” said McDonald on his insane show “The MC Files.” “Can a witch cast a spell on something like this to cause death and not be [known]? I’m just throwing that out. I don’t know anything about this stuff, you do. Is that possible if she wanted to get rid of Kobe? Please, Right Wing Watch, don’t be putting in that me and Cory are saying this; this is just a food for thought question. Do you think Hillary would be able to do it if she wanted to do it?”
