Cops in West Virginia on Thursday arrested state Delegate Joseph DeSoto for threatening to murder Republican state House Speaker Roger Hanshaw, and state Delegates Michael Hite, Pat McGeehan, Chuck Horst, Bill Ridenour, Wayne Clark, and Joe Funkhouser following what WV Metro News describes as “a confrontation over whether DeSoto had misrepresented key aspects of his biography and after delegates questioned his fitness to serve in the upcoming legislative session.”
DeSoto, a 61 year-old freshman sworn in on December 1st and now currently being held on $300,000 bond for a single count of threatening terrorist acts, is basically the George Santos of West Virginia, with people openly questioning whether he ever actually served in the military, went to medical school, and is licensed to practice as a physician as he claims, lol. Per the criminal complaint against the Republican who abruptly changed his registration to Democrat just prior to his arrest, DeSoto wrote in an email to an unspecified person that the lawmakers “play stupid games they are getting stupid awards… I am upset only with the eastern panhandle delegates. I have only begun….and won’t stop, I had a vision to destroy them from the angel of Moroni… Hite, Funkhouser, Horst and Wayne Clark… they can all go to hell, I will send them there as commanded.”
The state cop who wrote the complaint also included a text message exchange in which someone wrote to DeSoto to stop saying he’s going to kill people, to which the “Democrat” responded “I did say I am going to kill people… I said I am going what is necessary to put them from office.”
You can totally tell this guy’s a stealth liberal from the “vision of the Angel Moroni” part.
