NASCAR pre-race prayer on FOX asked for 'a Jesus man' to be elected to the White House

Phil Robertson, star of "Duck Dynasty," performed the invocation prior to NASCAR's Duck Commander 500 in Texas.

Robertson started the prayer by saying "we got here via bibles and guns" and that he was "fixin' to pray to the one who made that possible." Then, in the middle of the prayer, he added "I pray, father, that we put a Jesus man in the White House."

Presumably, Robertson is referring to a Republican, considering Hillary Clinton is not a man.

Here is the prayer, via FOX:

 

NASCAR is not the only sport with a prayer - several MLB teams still perform "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch - but it is unusual for one to be as political as this one.
