Revealed: former colleagues claim Kevin Roberts told them he killed a neighbor’s pit bull around 2004
The man behind Project 2025, the rightwing policy manifesto that includes calls for a sharp increase in immigrant deportations if Donald Trump is elected, told university colleagues about two decades ago that he had killed a neighborhood dog with a shovel because it was barking and disturbing his family, according toformer colleagues who spoke to the Guardian.
Kevin Roberts, now the president of the Heritage Foundation, is alleged to have told colleagues and dinner guests that he killed a neighbor’s pit bull around 2004 while he was working as a still relatively unknown history professor at New Mexico State University.
…
Two other people – a professor and her spouse - recall hearing a similar account directly from Roberts at a dinner at his home. Three other professors also said they heard the account at that time from the colleagues who said they had heard it directly from Roberts.
None recall Roberts – who worked at the university as an assistant professor from 2003 to 2005 – ever saying that the dog he allegedly said he killed was actively threatening him or his family.
I mean proof of their sociopathy is the least surprising part of this.
Clearly a WWJD moment.
Seems like a lot of GOP folks out there brutally killing pets and maybe some projection with this weird ass accusation of immigrants being the ones harshing on pets?
GOP//Facisim Playbook dictates that You ALWAYS accuse others of what you are guilty.
Every accusation is a confession.
If I had a nickel for every prominent conservative during this election season who bragged about killing a dog, I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
Conservatives racing to find out who can be the most horrible person and still have people support you
