Jesse Smith is hoping to unseat Rep. Mike Rogers in Alabama’s third congressional district this November.
He is also, evidently, a bit of a nutter:

Really, dude?
He can't be serious #alpolitics MT @jt4congress2014: America is being bullied from within. Actions of Reps in congress are worse than #ISIL.

@jt4congress2014, saying Republicans are worse than #ISIL makes you the biggest idiot around. Even obama is better than ISIL.

Smith took to Facebook to provide “context” for his tweet:
See? Those GOP barbarians are economic terrorists. You don’t see ISIS trying to privatize Social Security or cut taxes!
According to his bio, Smith is an Army vet, and we are grateful for his service. But if he sincerely believes that Republicans’ conduct is worse than anything ISIS has done, he’s definitely not ready for prime time.

Update:
A few more gems from Smith:
Burger King should be prohibited from operating on Military Bases in America. "Corporations dodging" taxes is equivalent to "draft dodging".

8030 American #veterans kill themselves every year due to the lack of job opportunities timely care & respect from Republicans in Congress.

Republicans in congress desperately want to Repeal #ACA. They clearly see the most vulnerable among us #Seniors #women & #Children as prey.
