Glenn Spencer, Nativist Anti-Semite, To Lecture Arizona Senate Committee
The Feathered Bastard covers it well, I need not comment further if you will but read the whole thing:
You would think that an old, Mexican-bashing coot like Glenn Spencer, the head of the nativist “organization” American Border Patrol, would be radioactive to any politician with a lick of sense, after all of the dumb, bigoted statements he’s made over the years.
Not to mention that he was once more-than-an-acquaintance of convicted kid-killer Shawna Forde, allowed Forde to stay on his property, and even let Forde use her laptop at his home the day she was collared. In fact, the FBI nabbed Forde not far from Spencer’s ranch near the Arizona-Mexico line.
But we are talking about a state Senate run by Russell Pearce, here. So, suffice it to say I was hardly surprised that Spencer, a serious nutbar who has attended white supremacist events in the past and who likes to peddle the phony, racist “reconquista” conspiracy theory, is scheduled to give a presentation before the Senate Border Security Committee, which is chaired by Senator Sylvia Allen.
The presentation is entitled, “Arizona/Mexico Border — An Assessment.”
Most of you know Allen as the woman who believes the Earth is only 6,000 years old. But really, her looniness and anti-immigrant mania is such that it’s unfair to slander other Biblical literalists by pointing out she’s in the same camp.
