Radical Conspiracy Theorist Stew Peters Campaigned for Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin

Janice McGeachin, Idaho's radical(link is external) lieutenant governor(link is external) who is seeking(link is external) to defeat Gov. Brad Little in the state's Republican primary, held a campaign rally(link is external) Wednesday that featured a variety of far-right activists and conspiracy theorists.

In attendance to campaign for McGeachin were radical right-wing commentator Michelle Malkin(link is external), election conspiracy theorist Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers(link is external), and extremist broadcaster Stew Peters(link is external), all of whom addressed the white nationalist America First Political Action Conference(link is external) in February, as did McGeachin.

Peters, a white nationalist-promoting(link is external) broadcaster who routinely uses his nightly program to spread(link is external) wild(link is external) conspiracy theories(link is external) and calls(link is external) for violence(link is external), was the keynote speaker at McGeachin's rally, and he delivered precisely the sort of unhinged speech one would expect, declaring that MAGA world's political enemies are "possessed by demons" and want to "rape our children."

"Today's enemy, today's uni-party RINOS and liberal Democrats and communists intentionally mutilate themselves for the sake of being transgender, so the only way that they can ever reproduce is by stealing our kids and then filling their brains with poison," Peters said(link is external). "That's how they operate. We have to call them out. These are the people who want to steal and poison and groom and, yes, rape our children. They're demonic. Literally. I think some of them are actually possessed by demons."

"That might seem like shocking language, but you know what? Good," Peters added. "I'm glad that it is because sadly the risk of being on the right side of history comes with a very real risk of being labeled an extremist or banned from the internet or jailed or even killed."
