Christine O'Donnell's Witchcraft Past

Indiscretions

Says it was bad high school crowd.

Christine O’Donnell joked about her past, in which she “dabbled in witchcraft,” telling supporters, "How many of you didn't hang out with questionable folks in high school?” Speaking before a Republican picnic, the Senate candidate from Delaware assured listeners that "There's been no witchcraft since. If there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter now." A 10-year-old clip from Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher shows O’Donnell saying that although she dabbled in sorcery, she “never joined a coven.” “One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn't know it. I mean, there's little blood there and stuff like that," the Delaware pol said on the show. "We went to a movie and then had a little midnight picnic on a satanic altar."
