Meet the Neo-Confederate 9/11 Truther Maryland GOP Voters Picked for Attorney General

Maryland’s Republican voters have chosen their nominee for attorney general, and it’s a real doozy: Meet Michael Peroutka, a neo-Confederate former councilman who has espoused conspiratorial views about Sept. 11.

CNN’s KFile has uncovered episodes of radio shows co-hosted by Peroutka from 2006 in which he pushes debunked 9/11 conspiracy theories, claiming the World Trade Center towers fell due to controlled demolition.

“What happened on 9-1-1, I told you that I had been doing some research and watching some videos,” Peroutka said during one of the shows. “And I said that if the buildings in New York City, the World Trade Center buildings, came down by demolition charges — that is to say — if there was this evidence that there was that something was preset there, then the implications of that are massive.”

But his 9/11 conspiracy theorizing went beyond just the Trade Center. Peroutka hypothesized that “some elite bureaucrat” might have the power to demolish any building in New York City. “That begs the question that if there are preset charges in Building Seven, what’s to stop there for being preset charges in Buildings 1, 2 8, 9, and 27?” Peroutka said. “Are there charges in every building in New York City? Is everyone ready to be brought down whenever some elite bureaucrat decides that he’s gonna pull it?”

3. Peroutka Is Nucking Futz

However, the Dem candidate is Anthony Brown, who is currently my Congresscritter and our former Lt. Governor. He's also African-American. While Maryland is solidly Dem, there is a large segment of the population in rural areas that aren't going to vote for a POC no matter what. So, it's possible that we could see Cox and Peroutka win. Normally, I'd write them off. But, these days, you never know.

Let's just say that I might be looking to move out of Maryland if the crazies get in. I'd move back to Pittsburgh, but yinz have your own crazies up there in PA.
