A candidate for Key West Mayor took a phone call from God during a Monday evening debate.
“Hello? What? God?” Sloan Bashinsky said into his cellphone during the city commission and mayoral candidates debate.
Bashinsky then talked about cuts to nonprofit funding and told God he thinks city officials have lost their minds, according to report by the Miami Herald.
“This is known to everybody,” said Bashinsky to the Herald. “I think anyone who wants this job is insane.”
Bashinsky has a law degree from Vanderbilt University. He used to be among Key West’s homeless.
Bashinsky says God told him to seek office.
In prior Key West elections, candidate Tony Tarracino eventually won the mayor’s office after saying “all you need in this life is a tremendous sex drive and a great ego.”
