Texas' Anti-Islam, Anti-Vaccine, Born-Again Christian Candidate Is a Democrat

[DonViejo]

A contentious primary in San Antonio features two Democrats, one of whom seems more like an extreme-right Republican.

In this day and age, it’s not surprising to hear a politician disparage Islam, offer paeans to Jesus at town meetings, and, for good measure, espouse the anti-vaxxer myth. It is surprising when that politician is a Democrat.

Meet Nico LaHood, district attorney for Bexar County, Texas, home of the mostly Democratic enclave of San Antonio. LaHood is now locked in a street brawl of a primary battle against a former friend, Joe Gonzales.

But LaHood’s positions are more typical of a Steve Bannon/Alex Jones conspiracy nut than a Democratic district attorney.

“I’m a conservative guy,” LaHood told a right-wing radio host last year, as reported by the San Antonio Express-News.

3. If you're such a "conservative guy"

4. Didn't another

politician from around Houston do that recently? I seem to recall hearing that some asshole ran without presenting a photo all the while trying to convince everyone he was a POC, but was actually white and revealed it after winning the election. I can see a wave of infiltration coming along with all the other attempts to trash all upcoming elections.

5. Sounds familiar...
