Yesterday it was reported that Republican Maine State Sen. Michael Willette suggested that President Obama will see ISIS at family reunion.
Mike Tipping, who broke yesterday's story, did some more digging into Willette's facebook page, and the results should now come as no surprise: Willette has a long history of online hate and bigotry:
You might think from that statement that Willette’s post was a one-time occurrence or some kind of misunderstanding and that he doesn’t actually believe those kinds of slurs against the President. A review of some of Willette’s previous Facebook posts, however, shows that he has a long history of claiming that President Obama is a Muslim and has connections to and has facilitated various terrorist or extremist groups. Willette has also suggested on several occasions that Obama is purging the American military and planning some kind of armed seizure of power.
In addition, Willette has posted numerous comments and images attacking the President specifically along racial lines and he has made clear on several occasions that he believes American Muslims are dangerous fifth columnists bent on destroying the United States.
