A former Mississippi political candidate is facing criminal charges after a bedazzled statue of Baphomet, a figure associated with the Satanic Temple, was discovered decapitated at the Iowa State Capitol.
Michael Cassidy, 35, a former U.S. Navy pilot, told Fox News that he saw the controversy surrounding the display, which was heavily criticized by Republican politicians like Ron DeSantis, and drove to the Iowa Capitol to see it for himself. He said it hit a “nerve” and went on to destroy it.
“How precisely did you decapitate Satan?” Fox News host Jesse Watters asked Cassidy.
“Tore it off. Pulled it apart. Put him in a garbage bag,” Cassidy said.
this is a hate crime and it’s not being charged as such because our government favors violent christian fundamentalist terrorists
I’m scared he might run for president and actually win.
