Local Putz Gets National Notice. Again.

Steven Hotze, a Texas-based religious-right activist and doctor, says that those who have received COVID-19 vaccines "become connected to the internet of things and you can be mind-controlled by artificial intelligence through maybe 5G." pic.twitter.com/BjpBqbPqja

That would be this guy:

Breaking: GOP activist Steven Hotze was indicted Wednesday on two felony charges related to his alleged involvement in a repairman being held at gunpoint in 2020 during a search for fraudulent mail ballots that did not exist. https://t.co/8bKjB66Qt4

Also the guy responsible for this flyer:

Sent out not last week, but several years ago (he was ahead of his time).  He was aiming at Harris County District court judges.  That year was marked by the entire slate of Democratic Harris County District judges (all black women) being elected, sweeping all GOP judges out of office.  Oh, you want to know about those charges in the tweet?

The charges stem from Hotze’s hiring of more than a dozen private investigators to look for voter fraud in Harris County ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

One of the investigators, former Houston police captain Mark Aguirre, was arrested in December 2020 and charged with aggravated assault. Prosecutors said Aguirre used his vehicle to run an air conditioning repairman off the road before dawn on Oct. 19, 2020.

Aguirre then detained the repairman at gunpoint and ordered an associate to search his truck, according to court filings. When a Houston police officer happened upon the scene and stopped to investigate, Aguirre said the truck contained 750,000 fraudulent mail ballots prepared by Democrats.

The truck contained only air conditioning parts and equipment. Hotze’s investigators have not produced any credible evidence to support allegations that Democrats orchestrated a wide-ranging mail ballot scheme in Harris County during that election.

He also sued the Texas GOP to force them to hold a physical, v. virtual, convention during the covid pandemic when almost everything was in lockdown.  A federal judge said it could be physical, not just virtual, but the Texas GOP said:  "No, thanks," and stuck with its virtual convention.

That was in 2020. He beclowned himself again earlier this year (for the primaries) as part of the same mail ballot scheme.  Basically he's been permanently pissed since Harris County went blue.

 

He's a putz with too much money on his hands and not enough sense to spend it wisely.  Why am I not surprised he's ranting about mind control through vaccines using 5G?  Does he understand any of those words?

I'd be willing to bet not.
