Texas Assistant AG who sent bigoted, QAnon-promoting tweets loses job

[RandySF]

The same day a Media Matters report came out detailing violent, bigoted tweets posted by Texas Assistant Attorney General Nick Moutos, a spokeswoman for the office said he no longer works there.

The spokeswoman did not provide a reason for Moutos' departure, nor respond to questions about whether the tweets played any role.

Moutos, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment, had been working in the office since 2017 and was paid $100,652, according to the Texas Tribune salary guide, which pulls from state records.

The attorney, who lost a race for the 35th Congressional District in the Republican primary, has supported QAnon, a right-wing, pro-Trump conspiracy theory, Media Matters reported.

The theory alleges without evidence that there is a cabal of pedophiles tied to Satanism who are plotting against President Donald Trump and also running a child sex trafficking ring.

3. we need a purge of those who are in ANY taxpayer supported positions from

police, teachers to military and all inbetween to be booted to the street, pensions confiscated and sent packing. There is a way to handle traitors and we best be prepared to do what is needed. There is NO getting along with such people.
