The local paper in the hometown of Jewish Center shooter Frazier Glenn Miller seems oddly solicitous of the town’s new Mayor who has spoken up as a supporter of Miller’s views. Says the Aurora Advertiser

Utilizing his First Amendment rights, Clevenger has made what some term as anti-Semitic and racist comments. The comments came as he spoke about the alleged involvement of local resident Frazier Glenn Miller (also known as Frazier Glenn Cross) in the shooting and subsequent deaths of three individuals in Overland Park, Kansas, on April 13.

Interestingly, Mayor Clevenger’s views came in for some controversy before he was elected last week when an old letter to the editor emerged in which he championed Miller’s views and decried the “Jew-run medical industry” and the “Jew-run government backed banking industry.”

Clevenger insists he’s not a racist or anti-semite but was only “point[ing] out the corporations responsible for destroying the United States are run by Jews.”
