Marianne Williamson defends idea ‘power of the mind’ could impact Hurricane Dorian

MARIANNE UNFILTERED: Marianne Williamson deleted the tweet. But she’s not happy about it.
The Democratic presidential candidate wants to be taken seriously and not always literally. But she’s learning that’s an even tougher challenge as a spiritualist and New Age guru in the age of Twitter. Her suggestion this week that the masses could use prayer, visualization and meditation to change Hurricane Dorian’s course caused a firestorm.
But the candidate who is campaigning on the “politics of love” is now blaming an increasingly secular left for demonizing her spiritual rhetoric. Williamson tells Power Up the backlash to her tweet about this “creative use of the power of the mind” — and to her out-of-the-box, psychic campaign-isms more broadly — is the fault of elitist Democrats, liberal condesension and even “corporatist dominance.”
