From the latest edition of Swamp Creatures in Donald Trump’s Washington, meet Kevin Sabo, a high-ranking official in the Interior Department:
TPM’s review of Sabo’s public Facebook page — which lists his Interior Department title — found multiple posts about the students who survived the Parkland school shooting. “The Nazis took everyone’s guns away too,” he wrote on March 24. “A lot of similarities with these kids.” Earlier, on Feb. 25, he shared a lengthy, convoluted post asserting that the mass shooting was a false flag conspiracy involving the county sheriff, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz (D-FL), the FBI, and the CIA’s “Project MKUltra mind control techniques.”
An Interior Department spokesman had “no comment on the personal views expressed,” citing the right for anyone to “communicate their own views … even if some would find those views disagreeable.” Even if, apparently, their own views include things like this:
But his career took a downturn in 2000, when he was convicted of “attempted malicious wounding” for cutting the brakes on his ex-girlfriend’s car, causing her to crash. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Mr. Sabo will undoubtedly be getting a big promotion soon.
