Republicans move to disown California candidate over social media posts
San Francisco Chronicle
Republican leaders are frantically backpedaling away from the party’s candidate in a key Central Valley congressional race in reaction to a second report that his social media accounts formerly contained anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant and conspiracy theory messages.
Ted Howze, who will face Democratic Rep. Josh Harder of Turlock (Stanislaus County) in the November election, had a post on his Facebook page in September 2016 that said, “The Western world and Christian Nations should all be suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS! They obviously cannot be both ‘good’ Muslims and good Americans,” Politico reported Wednesday.
A post in June 2016 signed, “Ted Howze, American Citizen,” charged that then-President Barack Obama “puts the welfare of foreign Muslims ahead of his own citizens,” and that “it is time to arrest and charge Barrack (sic) Obama with TREASON!”
Other posts included a charge that Bill and Hillary Clinton left “a trail of bodies as long as the Mississippi behind them,” and one that compared the Dreamers — young people brought into the U.S. illegally years ago as children and currently allowed to stay in the country — to pedophiles: “Sure they understand that pedophiles are ‘dreamers’ too,” the post read.

According to the link, Howze denied writing those original posts, and said his account had been hijacked by an unnamed person who used his password to post the messages.
Yeah, right.
Bye-bye, Douchebag ...
