Alaska Ass't Attorney General Cicotte called for a drag queen to be burned alive

State attorney Matthias Cicotte allegedly called a drag queen a "demon" who should "be burned to death" and called for "the death penalty" for people who support trans youth.

A high-ranking state official in Alaska was caught posting extreme messages online, including a call to murder a drag queen and racist messages, under a pseudonym. Now the state says that he is under investigation. The Guardian said that it received information about an extremist Twitter account that was allegedly run by Alaska Assistant Attorney General Matthias Cicotte from anti-fascist researchers.

Many of the tweets under the handle – which used the name “J Reuben Clark” – repeated conspiracy theories about Jewish people, saying that they secretly run industries like media and banking and that they are involved in several plots against the “white race.” Under the pseudonym in 2016, Cicotte wrote about when “real history was taught in school, angry yentas didn’t rule, white men didn’t play the fool.

He kept on attacking Jewish people until this year ... Cicotte expressed disdain for Black people, saying that the idea that racism exists is “purely a tool to control people on the right.” He asked followers to “try to think of an example of an accusation of racism that helped the right, or Christians, or whites in the last 10 years. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its Consequences Have Been a Disaster for the Human Race,” he tweeted last year. He also said that he believed it’s not racist to say that “some racial groups have higher IQs than others” and called Black Lives Matter a “criminal enterprise that murders people and destroys property.”

His anti-LGBTQ messages were targeted and violent. “This demon should be burned to death and everyone responsible for that library event should be in prison,” he wrote about a drag queen who read books to children in 2017. “People who encourage a kid to think he’s a different sex than what he is (including parents) go to jail for child abuse,” he wrote last year, adding that “the death penalty” is appropriate for “people who perform or abet sex change operations on kids,” even though no one even does that.

“The department of law takes the allegations raised here seriously, and we uphold the dignity and respect of all individuals and ask that all of our employees do the same,” said Alaska Deputy Attorney General Cori Mills. An investigation into the tweets has been opened.

2. A drag Queen is not a trans person.

I hope the moron knows the difference, though that seems unlikely.

The church use to have henchmen that would do the churches dirty work (look up Porter Rockwell). Now they have DezNat politicians calling for death.
