Trumptard ex-Police Captain arrested for Detaining AC Repairmen thinking he was Voter Fraud Kingpin
This is really scary folks. Well funded brainwashed Trumptards getting violent in the name of fake voter fraud alleging vast left wing conspiracies.
A former police captain convinced of a vast conspiracy to steal the election ran a man off the road and held him at gunpoint, believing there were thousands of illegal ballots in the back of the man’s box truck.
In fact, Mark Anthony Aguirre’s alleged victim was an ordinary air conditioner repairman, prosecutors say. There was nothing fishy in the back of his truck, nor in the repairman’s home in a nearby mobile home community, which Aguirre said he and others had surveilled for four days straight, police said.
But it gets stranger: The day after the ex-cop allegedly held the terrified repairman at gunpoint, convinced of a massive election conspiracy that did not exist, he received a wire transfer for $211,400, according to prosecutors. The money came from a conservative group that’s pumped up election fraud conspiracy theories, and which is led by prominent right-wing activists in the state.
The conservative group that allegedly funded Aguirre’s private investigative work, the Liberty Center for God and Country, wired Aguirre $266,400 between September and October, according to grand jury records described by police.
The group’s CEO, Steven Hotze, is a prominent right-wing activist who’s lobbed lawsuits over everything from COVID-19 restrictions to voting rights. He unsuccessfully sued to limit early voting and toss 127,000 ballots cast through a drive-thru location. An affidavit from Aguirre was filed in the first effort. In the document, dated Sept. 27, the ex-cop stated that he was investigating “a wide-ranging and fraudulent ballots harvesting scheme in Harris County intended to rig the elections in the Houston/Harris County area.”
