Revealed: former colleagues claim Kevin Roberts told them he killed a neighbor’s pit bull around 2004
The man behind Project 2025, the rightwing policy manifesto that includes calls for a sharp increase in immigrant deportations if Donald Trump is elected, told university colleagues about two decades ago that he had killed a neighborhood dog with a shovel because it was barking and disturbing his family, according toformer colleagues who spoke to the Guardian.
Kevin Roberts, now the president of the Heritage Foundation, is alleged to have told colleagues and dinner guests that he killed a neighbor's pit bull around 2004 while he was working as a still relatively unknown history professor at New Mexico State University.
...
Two other people -- a professor and her spouse - recall hearing a similar account directly from Roberts at a dinner at his home. Three other professors also said they heard the account at that time from the colleagues who said they had heard it directly from Roberts.
None recall Roberts -- who worked at the university as an assistant professor from 2003 to 2005 -- ever saying that the dog he allegedly said he killed was actively threatening him or his family.
I member when Mitt Romney got backlash for puttting his dog in a travel carrier for a road trip.
Apparently Republicans didn't think that went far enough, and now we have at least two who have bragged about murdering dogs multiple times. Truely the party of family values!
Their hero is a man who famously hates dogs.
The old joke about Hitler was that at least he liked dogs...
Seems like a lot of GOP folks out there brutally killing pets and maybe some projection with this weird ass accusation of immigrants being the ones harshing on pets?
Republicans have been spreading racist lies about immigrants eating dogs, meanwhile they have:
Kristi Noem: shot a puppy in a gravel pit (and then a goat to fully sate her bloodlust).
Head of project 2025: beat a dog to death with a shovel.
RFK Jr: claims to be willing to eat almost any animal “except dogs”. Given his whale and bear carcass stories, I assume it’s just a matter of time before the dog eating story drops.
The Kristi Noem one, when I heard the news I assumed it was just unavoidable farm life type of shit. Like the dog got rabies or seriously injured and putting it down was just the right thing to do...
Then I read the story and holy hell that woman shot a perfectly healthy dog out of spite. South Dakota has animal shelters, Kristi, you psycho.
Kristi Noem is now asking if he's single.
Clearly a WWJD moment.

🫨🫨I can't wait for the articles saying Republicans eat the innocent dogs of the good American citizens! That will happen right! The articles about the Haitians weren't just racist, right?..... Right?!
They have no souls.
If I had a nickel for every prominent conservative during this election season who bragged about killing a dog, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.
Conservative psychopaths aren't even surprising anymore
Sounds on brand
Fuck this guy.
That tracks.
