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.

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 wasnt white and wasnt a white supremacist didnt belong in the world, thats 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 didnt follow his suit, whoever else didnt 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.

(33,643 posts)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.

(7,633 posts)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.

(11,949 posts)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.

(9,999 posts)did not let him drive that van DURING THE DAY. Yes, because I want to catch even a slight glimpse of that in front of my house in the dark. Yikes!

(254 posts)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.
