Suspected Mail Bomber's Former Boss: 'He Called Himself a White Supremacist'

Source: Mediaite

Debra Gureghian, who supervised Sayoc when he was a pizza driver actually sat in the politically stickered van seen in the news today and spent one-on-one time with him.

-snip-

Gureghian said Sayoc knew she was a lesbian and told her that she would burn in hell and was a mistake but she found no reason to fire him.

“I knew he had issues,” Gurighian said. “He really was not — he definitely beat to the beat of his own drum. He was anti-gay, anti-black, anti-Jewish, you name it, everybody that really wasn’t white and wasn’t a white supremacist didn’t belong in the world, that’s what he used to say to me all the time.”

She later said that in spite of identifying as a white supremacist, he also said he was part of the Seminole tribe. The tribe has since distanced themselves from him.

Video from this evening's CNN interview at the link.


Sayoc's former boss also said Sayoc told her that he was a Nazi supporter and that he thought society needed to be "purified" by getting rid of those whom he considered "weak": gays, blacks, Jews, "and whoever else didn’t follow his suit, whoever else didn’t follow his policy and political views."

And yes, you have to wonder why she tolerated him...but according to Mediate, she said he was neatly dressed and managed to behave on the job.

Positioning yourself as Native American is fairly likely to garner some degree of sympathy/understanding from the majority of White Americans ... even the most virulent racists (let alone the decent/good folk) of this country are at least somewhat sympathetic to what happened to the Native population 'When the White Man came'.

I'd bet that a lot of ignorant racist types see 'parallels' in their own twisted version of reality ... between what happened to the Natives, and what is NOW 'happening' with immigration from the South. Something of a 'Hey, Natives suffered through a catastrophic invasion ... just as the White Man is now ... so they're our brothers in the fight!' sort of 'reasoning'.

I'd bet anything that this whole 'Native' thing has been a 'front' for this f***head LOSER for many years, precisely because it's been advantageous for him to appropriate it.

In fact, I'd bet he went round talking like 'the current border issues' actually constitute a 'Second Invasion that Natives are going to suffer in!' kinda bullshit.

I read that his father is italian, his mother filipino. Decades ago Italians were ostracized , filipinos probably still are today by the white supremacists. Not exactly the right pedigree to be one of them.

Hispanic (Mexican-American) skinheads. They had no ideal that they were the subjects of hatred by other skinheads. They just thought it was a “cool” thing to be.

That rig pulls up in front of my home and I would be tempted to break out my locked up, 3 shot maximum bird hunting shotgun!

But I see trucks with a magabomber starter kit on them all the time driving in my county.

He is a non white, white supremacist? He also claims to be a Seminole Indian. He seems like a bit of an underachiever at best, so I think he pretended to be a Seminole to scam the tribe for money. They did their due diligence and adjudicated him to not be a Native American member of the Seminole Tribe.
