T ea Party favorite Sharron Angle of Nevada descended upon the movie premiere of a conservative Christian movie in Johnston tonight, and she wouldn’t say that she was running for president.
But she wouldn’t say that she wasn’t.
“I’ll just say I have lots of options for the future, and I’m investigating all my options,” Angle said before a couple hundred people sat down to watch the premiere of “The Genesis Code,” a $5 million film that aims to present a controversial view on religious freedom and on the balancing act between faith and science.
Angle, who nearly beat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid in last year’s highly contested Senate race, promoted the movie as “family values” entertainment.
Angle, along with Republican National Committeeman Steve Scheffler and Republican National Committeewoman Kim Lehman, said the movie intends to encourage civil discourse about the big questions of life, from creation to end-of-life issues.
“It’s a controversial movie. We planned it that way,” said Rev. Jerry Zandstra, the executive in charge of production for the movie. “We are in Iowa now. We are in New Hampshire tomorrow. That is intentional.”
Angle will not be making the trip to New Hampshire. Instead, in brief remarks to the crowd, she said she’ll be caring for her 88-year-old father. But she didn’t rule out the possibility of returning to Iowa soon.
“Please, just invite me back,” she said to Iowans.
