GOP Lawmaker's Wife Has 'Prophetic' Dream Of Feds Seizing Couple's Guns And Knives
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) decided to alert the public Friday that his wife “has the gift of premonition” and she recently awoke crying from a nightmare of an apocalyptic future where federal officials seize their guns, knives and other items.
Now Higgins’ Democratic opponent in this year’s election is using the strange tale to raise campaign funds. “This is what we’re up against,” tweeted rival Rob Anderson.
Higgins had posted on Twitter that his wife, Becca, “dreamed that Federal squads were in our home seizing guns, knives, ‘unauthorized foods’ and stored water.” Becca “awoke crying,” he added. “‘What happened to our freedom?’ she asked.”
Higgins, first elected to his seat in 2016, concluded ominously: “What indeed.”

Last night she dreamed that Federal squads were in our home seizing guns, knives, “unauthorized foods” and stored water. They said we had been “reported”.
Becca awoke crying.
What happened to our freedom? She asked.
What indeed.— Rep. Clay Higgins (@RepClayHiggins) October 23, 2020
Anderson shot back an hour later with his fundraising appeal.
This is what we are up against.
Help us out. We are in the middle of filming three tv ads as we speak, to push in the final days.

Reactions to Higgins’ tweet included theNew Orleans-based Gambit Weekly wondered if Higgins had just accused his wife of witchcraft.
Walter Shaub, former director of the federal Office of Government Ethics, said the “level of crazy” in Higgins’ tweet managed to break through an exceptionally crazy year. And author Kurt Eichenwaldsuggested anti-psychotics.
Others wondered why the feds would seize “stored water.”
Many found it especially creepy that someone with the alleged gift of foresight would primarily be worried about losing her guns,...
