- Bianca Garcia, the leader of Latinos for Trump, has a theory on why Trump has been facing troubles.
- Gracia said she thought Trump was being "attacked" because he may have "offended the Lord."
- She said on a podcast that Trump needs to "get on his knees" to pray and repent for his actions.
Bianca Garcia, president of the Latinos for Trump organization, has a theory about why former President Donald Trump keeps finding himself in trouble — he may have offended God.
Gracia, a failed Republican state senate candidate in Texas, suggested during an appearance on "The Jeff Dornik Show" that Trump had run into so many problems because he isn't focused on religion. The podcast episode, which was uploaded on Thursday, was titled "Latinos for Trump President Bianca Gracia Believes There May be a Reason God Doesn't Want Trump to be President."
While on the show, Gracia said she thought Trump kept "getting attacked" and having his "butt handed" to him because he didn't surround himself with those who are "used to fighting principalities in a spiritual realm."
She added that she thought Trump needed to speak to evangelical leaders and spiritual people and pray with his family, which she said she does not see him doing very much of.
"We see it. There are no faith leaders coming out of Mar-a-Lago right now, there's nobody counseling him, his family, praying with him," she said, noting that Trump's Florida home had recently been raided by the FBI.
"They can't just appear and go and knock on Mar-a-Lago. He needs to be the one to invite them in and say, 'Look... this world has gone chaotic and it's mad,'" she added.
Garcia also encouraged Trump to reach out to spiritual leaders, in particular, Latino ones. The former president is known to have held significant sway over segments of the Latino community, partly due to what The New York Times posited as his macho appeal.

Garcia also suggested that Trump had perhaps "offended the Lord" in "some big way," and was being punished for it with his 2020 election loss and ensuing problems.
"You need to go in the prayer closet," she said, referring to the former president. "You need to find a closet, go get on your knees. Pray, and repent, for whatever it is, because you've offended the Lord."
A representative from Trump's post-presidential office did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
During the FBI's Mar-a-Lago raid on August 8, the bureau seized 11 sets of classified documents, including some that were marked as "top secret" and may have concerned nuclear weapons. According to the warrant for the search, the Justice Department is looking into whether Trump broke three federal laws, including the Espionage Act, by taking sensitive government documents to his Florida home.
Trump is also facing a possible criminal probe over election interference in Georgia and an investigation in New York into whether the Trump Organization committed tax fraud.
