Dangerous Delusion: Speaking at a rally outside the San Antonio City Hall, Bexar County Republican Chair Cynthia Brehm made the outrageous claim that the coronavirus pandemic is a Democratic hoax.

Inquisitor reports:

A viral video from Texas shows a Republican Party leader speaking at local rally calling the coronavirus panic a hoax being perpetrated by Democrats with the goal of hurting Donald Trump, then encouraging people to take off their face masks.

The video showed Bexar County Republican Chairwoman Cynthia Brehm speaking at a political protest against continued restrictions meant to slow the spread of the virus. Brehm said that a requirement to wear face coverings is a violation of people’s constitutional rights and hinted that the coronavirus panic is being manufactured by Democrats in order to hurt Trump.

Brehm, speaking at Friday’s rally, declared:

They asked us to wear masks, and according to Attorney GeneralPaxton, this is unconstitutional. So if we don’t want to wear masks, this is our choice.

This is America, and we shouldn’t have to be forced or mandated to wear a mask.

Brehm continued:

Why is this happening today? And I’ll tell you why: all of this has been promulgated by the Democrats to undo all the good President Trump has done for our country — and they are worried. So, take off your masks, exercise your constitutional rights. Stand up, speak up and vote Republican.

New details surface about BCRP chair’s husband
Brian Chasnoff Aug. 21, 2018

U.S. Army court documents revealed appalling new details about the government’s evidence against Norman Brehm, a retired lieutenant colonel and Cynthia Brehm’s husband of 22 years. The documents show that Cynthia Brehm was informed about details of her husband’s case as it unfolded and benefited from its outcome.

According to the documents, Norman Brehm gave a “full confession” detailing not only “indecent liberties” taken in 1999 with Cynthia Brehm’s then-14-year-old daughter from a previous marriage but also describing more than 10 years of “egregious sexual molestation” of three young relatives.

Norman Brehm began “conditioning” one girl when she was 5 years old, the documents state.

“It began with me exposing myself, and progressed to showing her pornographic magazines, and having her masturbate me and then having her perform oral sex on me,” Norman Brehm admitted, according to the documents.
