Sounds like a dyed in the Red MAGAt.

Ikeguchi’s bigotry was not limited to the LGBTQ+ community, however. Many of his posts aligned with Christian nationalist views. On June 28, Ikeguchi posted that abortion and same-sex marriage “are both immoral and are design [sic] to destroy humanity one by one.” “So if someone is pro-abortion and pro-LGBTQP, they are at war against the foundation of family values,” Ikeguchi wrote. Ikeguchi also posted about a variety of other standard right-wing conspiratorial content, including anti-vaccine content and anti-Semitic memes.

Sorry, but anti-semitism is alive and well on the left, and there's a Dem anti-vax candidate running for Prez.

Here's a thoughtful piece from an Evangelical conservative bemoaning the dark, violent turn the Christian Right has taken in recent years.

Who said the guy was "far right"? You have a source?

Point taken. By current standards, he could just as well be a mainstream MAGA conservative.

Does that negate the fact that this killer is a right wing extremist?

Happened today, three black people randomly killed for being black in Jacksonville, FL.

Three killed in racially motivated shooting at Florida store, sheriff says

Quote:
A White man in his early 20s who “hated Black people” killed two men and one woman after opening fire with a rifle covered in swastikas at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Fla., before fatally shooting himself, the local sheriff said Saturday afternoon.
Quote:
Far-right radicalism is the nation’s top domestic threat, according to the FBI, particularly in the category known as RMVE, racially motivated violent extremism, the agency’s catchall term for white-supremacist and neo-Nazi militants.

LOL, nice try. He's a Democrat, running as a Democrat, and comes complete with the full laundry list of Democrat positions on issues. From the NY Times:

Fueled by an unusual combination of views — passionate environmentalism, for example, alongside a deep distrust of the pharmaceutical industry and public health orthodoxy — Mr. Kennedy’s campaign has stood out for its curious coalition of Democrats, Republicans and independents of varying backgrounds.

Financial filings this week from two super PACs supporting him, which together have raised nearly $10.5 million, seemed to underscore this theme. The pro-Kennedy super PAC American Values 2024 received the bulk of its money from two megadonors: one who has contributed tens of millions to Republican causes, and another who has backed both Democrats and Republicans.

Post your source that confirms that he's a "right-wing extremist".
