How This Reporter Reacted to WI GOP Gov Candidate Tom Tiffany's Scary Plane Incident Was Appalling

• • Tom Tiffany survived an emergency water landing in Lake Wausau after his plane lost power.


• • Tiffany and the pilot swam to safety and received treatment for minor injuries.


• • The incident occurred following his attendance at the La Crosse County Lincoln Day Dinner.

Context
Tiffany is a sitting U.S. Representative and Republican candidate for Governor of Wisconsin. The crash happened during an approach to the Wausau Downtown Airport in a four seat Bonanza.

Christian Perspective
Tiffany's acknowledgment that God was watching over him is a necessary testament to divine providence in the face of death. The media's attempt to frame his faith as appalling reveals a deep seated hostility toward Christian expression in the public square. We must celebrate his survival as a sign of God's protection over a leader fighting for our values.

Implications
This event highlights the ongoing cultural war where even a miraculous survival is met with secular scrutiny. It shows that those who lead with Christian conviction will always be targets for the left. True leaders must remain steadfast in their reliance on God despite the mockery of the godless.

Broader Trends
The reaction to this incident reflects the broader trend of the media attempting to pathologize religious belief. It demonstrates how the secular elite seeks to marginalize any public figure who attributes success or survival to the Creator. This is part of a larger effort to remove God from the American identity.

Takeaway
We must support leaders like Tiffany who are unapologetic about their faith and their commitment to the nation. Do not let the media's disdain for religion deter you from standing with those who honor God. Continue to pray for our leaders and remain vigilant against the forces seeking to secularize our country.
