I went to this moron's

I went to this moron's campaign website to see if my jaw's dropping capacity had been reached. Imagine my surprise to find the following, from the candidate himself:

 "A campaign of flier distributors has been going around my Jewish Christian children's (their mother is a believing Jewish convert to Christianity who preaches the Gospel most effectively) neighborhood and is illegally putting fliers in peoples' mailboxes."

I've never had any use for the term "self-hating Jew", largely because it's pressed into service most often by right-wing Zionists in order to slander Jewish critics of Israeli policy. But this woman's got me thinking twice.

Halacha experts, please advise: Are their children Jewish (via the usual matrilineal connection), or does her repudiation of her heritage somehow cancel out her kids' membership? If so, at what age? Is the one month old kid of a female Jewish convert to Christianity considered Jewish? What about a kid who's old enough to make a decision for herself? 

Boy, their family therapy sessions must be positively surreal.
