Scott McKay has marshaled his fan base to engage in sometimes hostile activism at school board meetings against mask mandates
he audience at a meeting last month of the Ankeny, Iowa, school board exploded over the prospect of the board reinstating a mask mandate, with parents shouting at board members who supported the mask rule.
We know where you live! one parent yelled at the school board members. Were going to stalk you!
The scene, which ended with the board voting to reimpose the mask rule, looked like so many other school board meetings across the country this year over coronavirus restrictions. But the Ankeny school board has become a larger flashpoint in the fight over mask mandates in schools, thanks in large part to a leather-clad, tomahawk-toting QAnon personality named Scott McKay.
McKay, a middle-aged former bodybuilder whose followers call him Patriot Streetfighter, has used his sizable online platform and frequent use of violent rhetoric to turn the Ankeny mask debate into a national event among followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory, urging his followers to bombard specific school board members with complaints.
Despite his bizarre demeanor and online presence, McKay has marshaled his fan base to engage in sometimes hostile activism at school board meetings against mask mandatesdespite his own recent experience with a COVID outbreak at one of his rallies....
