This is a thread about a disgraced Trumpian mayor who is running for re-election in California, in the city where the @Apple headquarters is located.
You may remember Steven Scharf calling to build a wall around #Cupertino and have (28% Latino) San Jose pay for it.

One of Scharf’s worst acts as Cupertino mayor has been his continued support for Planning Commissioner R Wang, who has been accused of sexual harassment, identify theft, and stalking a former Redwood City planning commissioner & city councilmember.

R Wang is accused of impersonating a former Redwood City planning commissioner & city councilmember, stealing her identity, and signing her up for pornographic websites. He did this just because he disagreed with her over a water recycling policy.
This is what happens when @SenMikeShirkey and @LeeChatfield's supporters go off the Q Anon rails, and start calling the governor literally Hitler, without any pushback from them at all. This is squarely on them. They know how militia adjacent their supporters are.
Anyone who listened to me on @PlanForThatPod 3 weeks ago could have seen this coming. Republican consultants and politicians sanitize militia messaging for cooperative recruitment for both parties. This is the end result. It's predictable.

Here is the story in the Detroit News, of course, they failed to hold the Republicans who absolutely could have stopped this if they wanted to accountable.
🗣️📢If you know me IRL or through #a2council, you know I make videos to help unelect bad local politicians. Cupertino, CA has been taken over by some of the worst NIMBYs in the country. This election may determine the final fate of segregation in the US.
You haven't seen new videos from me in the last few weeks because I have doubled down on researching current Cupertino Mayor "build a wall" Scharf and his sidekick Kitty "Q Anon, but for Apple Engineers" Moore. They are both seeking seats on council.
Kitty Moore gets a weird nickname because she's so obsessed with watching her property value increase, she makes flippant claims about Apple employees who would rent new housing bringing prostitutes to the suburbs. She says the things even Trump won't say.
Governor Whitmer's team is paying attention to the cutting-edge science and up to the minute data that is telling us, especially at colleges, super spreader events are to blame for most COVID-19 infections.
Let's see how long before Tori posts some blue lives matter nonsense while ignoring the fact that coronavirus has killed more cops than anything else this year in America. 🤔
Also, Chad writes for @crainsdetroit. This is one of the right-wing adjacent legitimate news outlets that participates in militia and white supremacist sanitation, so the dog whistles filter through, and the unseemly bits are left down a trail of breadcrumbs.
