Cultist Gets Hate Crime Charge In Satanic Temple Case

The Washington Examiner reports:

A U.S. Navy veteran who is accused of tearing down a Satanic Temple statue within the Iowa state Capitol has been charged with a hate crime.

Michael Cassidy, a conservative Christian veteran, is accused of tearing down the display in mid-December, leading to property damages that cost somewhere between $750 and $1,500. The action taken by Cassidy was also in violation of “individual rights” under the state’s hate crime statute, according to court documents.

Cassidy’s arraignment has been set for Feb. 15. The veteran, who previously ran for office as a Republican in Mississippi’s House District 45, was commissioned into the Navy in 2009.
