Following the failure and hilarity of the #MormonMafia, huge supporter of and Leader of Trump PAC (note Trump hasn't supported his words and this is NOT his official PAC), Pax Dickinson, has tweeted the following:
"If Evan McMullin succeeds and throws the election to Hillary, Mormons will be blamed for it. Chance of a future Mormocaust spikes sharply."
"America hasn't boasted a popular movement favoring genocide of Mormons for well over a century but Evan McMullin is working to change that."
After some people blew up about it, he argues that he was joking. Yeah. Not cool. It's really not funny to joke about genocide, and Americans should be offended that he even suggests the American people would support a genocide of any kind. Also, if you look at his previous tweets, he has a history of saying very offensive, untrue things about Mormons. In addition, if Evan wins Utah, it does not help Hillary. Trump would have to get 264 without Utah in order for Utah to help him, which means that if Evan won Utah with Trump at 264, it would put Hillary at 268 and throw it to the House. The only way Evan could help Hillary win is if he won more states, OR, as some people point out, there is the slightest possibility of Evan splitting the Utah vote between Evan and Trump enough that Hillary would win Utah. But even then, most of the people voting for Evan would find a different 3rd party candidate to vote for if he wasn't in the race, therefore making the result the same.
[I looked at the article the following article links to, and it has a swear word and some really aggravating tweets from this Pax guy, so proceed with caution]

Woah, now! You can do your best to say you were joking Mr. Pax Dickinson, but honestly, who would joke about this!? *ahem, Hitler.* He had better not follow up on that threat though, thank you second amendment.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, this man is an extremist with not too many supporters, but it's frightening that there are even people that think like this at all.
