MD AG Nominee: God’s Laws Supersede Everything

The Washington Post reports:

Michael Peroutka has made clear that if he is elected, his view of Christianity will determine his decisions. And he has said that as attorney general he will not support laws enacted by the legislature if he believes they are in conflict with his understanding of God’s law.

He elaborated on many of these positions at the Turning Point USA forum, repeatedly returning to the idea that laws created by men and women are not legitimate unless they are in accordance with God’s law.

And Peroutka has said he wouldn’t disavow his association with the League of the South, which has been categorized as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. At a League of the South conference in 2012, he sang “Dixie,” calling it “the national anthem.”

Peroutka has appeared a JMG over a dozen times in the last decade for anti-gay and racist stunts, including 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 the largest financial backer of now-former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore’s successful campaign to be returned to the bench.

He last appeared on JMG in August when he declared 9/11 to have been an “inside job.”
