A south California Republican who welcomes drastic climate change with open arms was on Tuesday elected to a seat on the Golden State’s Legislature.
“Most of the Muslim nations are in the hot areas of the world,” Randy Voepel, who will represent suburban San Diego, told the Los Angeles Times in an interview last week.
Voepel ran unopposed for his seat on the state Assembly, and was endorsed by the state GOP and over a dozen sitting Republican lawmakers.
Voepel became known for controversial stunts and impolitic comments during his fifteen-year tenure as the mayor of Santee, a San Diego suburb.
Almost a decade ago, he told an LA Times reporter that climate change was positive because “our enemies are on the equator” and would be most aversely affected.
Voepel has also dismissively referred to Chinese nationals as “Chi-Coms,” for Chinese communists, and accused the homeless population of stealing copper wiring from local parks.
And so it begins .
The pervasive stupidity that is Republican has been legitimized by Trump.
It’s not good for anyone else either , but that nagging detail seems to escape him .
Countdown to massive Trump failure in preventing terrorism.
Keepin’ it classy, there, CA GOP.
Was his district that red, that the CA Democratic Party couldn’t field a credible opponent?
Hey, at least this is a GOPer who acknowledges that climate change is real…even if for a nefarious purpose.
Good on you, Sparky!
Someone tell me again that this election wasn’t overwhelmingly driven by racist, white nationalist/white supremacist, xenophobic, nativist Manifest Destiny type thought…
