On this date in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, as well as in 2022, “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day posted profiles of Montana State Senator Keith Regier, who has repeatedly tried to create laws criminalizing “attacks upon an unborn child” that are blatant attempts at overriding Roe v. Wade, and in defending those sorts of laws, has on more than one occasion compared pregnant women to cattle. His problems with the female gender don’t end there, as Regier attempted to re-write sumptuary laws in the state capitol to keep female legislators from showing too much knee.
Regier also tried manufacturing outrage over “Obamaphones”, a right-wing myth that President Obama started giving out free phones to minorities that is based on an insane version of reality where the program of getting welfare recipients functioning phones established during the Reagan presidency is now a conspiracy being perpetrated by Obama. He has voted for laws to attempt to nullify federal firearm laws, as well as voted to drug test welfare recipients, as well.
In Keith Regier’s first term in the Montana State Senate he has tried passing anti-abortion legislation in the form of a “fetal pain” bill, and sabotaged a bill aimed at curtailing revenge porn by inserting language that indicates it’s only a crime if a person “financially profits” from it, a new form of anti-woman dickery from Keith. It also ignores the fact that the main motivating factor is right in the name of the crime “REVENGE porn”.
Regier also began dabbling in Islamophobia, by pushing for a bill to attempt to create an unnecessary ban Sharia Law in Montana that could inadvertently affect how tribal law is conducted on many Native American reservations in the state in its poorly thought out language.
Regier won re-election in 2020 with 55% of the vote, and we would like to point out that he made headlines in April of 2021, when during a debate on a bill about vaccine mandates, Regier promoted the conspiracy theory that the Covid-19 vaccine somehow contains “microscopic tracking chips” during debate on the floor of the Montana State Senate.
