Man Who Destroyed Satanic Temple Display Speaks At Kirk’s Convention: “Satan Is Real, We Can’t Ignore Him”

“It was an abomination. I was surprised. There’s almost nobody, there’s one man in there. I would have thought that there would have been, you know, a politician to yell at, to say, ‘Hey man, take this down’ – a security guard or something.

“But there was nobody there, it was just that evil statue that was there to influence families, to influence children.

“One of the bits of hate mail that I got after this was from an Iowa father. He told me that he was mad at me for doing what I did because he could not show his daughter the satanic icon at the state capitol.

“How far has our nation fallen if that’s the kind of mentality that we have from people, from men and women in our country today?

“And that’s another thing that I want to come from this, is for people to wake up, for us to wake up to understand that there is evil in the world. The devil is real and we can’t ignore him.

“The satanists, they may think it’s a game, they may think it’s just a big joke to, you know, trigger us, but the devil’s real, and we have to be wary of him.” – Failed US House candidate Michael Cassidy, speaking today at Charlie Kirk’s Christian nationalist convention.

Cassidy, who says he drove the 13 hours from Mississippi to Des Moines “on the spur of the moment,” was introduced by far-right Pizzagate extremist Jack Posobiec, who is perhaps most infamous for waving a “Rape Melania” sign at a 2016 anti-Trump protest in Washington DC.

At this writing, Cassidy has raised $78,000 in a money beg posted to the Christian crowdfunding site favored by literal Nazis and Capitol rioters.
