Vice News reports:
Michael Peroutka thinks American leaders must “take a biblical worldview and apply it to civil law and government.” He’s a former board member of the neo-Confederate League of the South, has said he’s “still angry” that Maryland was blocked from seceding during the Civil War.
He thinks public education is a communist plot, says laws protecting abortion and gay marriage are illegal and unenforceable because they violate God’s law, and called the concept of the separation of church and state a “great lie.” And on Tuesday, he may win the Republican nomination for Maryland’s attorney general.
Read the full article. According to the piece, Peroutka is the best-known and funded candidate.
Peroutka has appeared a JMG over a dozen times in the last decade for anti-gay and racist stunts, most recently when he headlined a rally for anti-gay Kentucky clerk Kim Davis.
The League of the South is best known for burning the Israeli flag, making Hitler salutes, and calling the Holocaust the “Holohoax.”
You may also recall that the League Of The South recently celebrated the 150th anniversary of the assassination of “tyrant” Abraham Lincoln and provided the signage for anti-gay rallies in Alabama.
Peroutka was also the largest financial backer of now-former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore’s successful campaign to be returned to the bench.
I asked him about his former role with the secessionist League of the South & earlier calls to take a”biblical worldview and apply it to civil law.”
“If what you mean by secession is the right to self-government, of the people to be self-governed, I’m all in favor of it.”
