The John Birch/Tea Party/right wing extremist playbook is always the same: Start with local offices like school boards, take them over and use that as the launch point for higher office. Pennsylvania right-wing extremist Steve Lynch is a perfect example of that.
Lynch, a suspected domestic terrorist, is running for Northampton County executive. Over the weekend, he called for a brute takeover of school boards, not by electoral means, but simply by brute force.
After opening with a call to "make men great again, make men men again," Lynch got down to business, using the requirement to mask children as the pretext to muscle his way into removing existing school boards and replacing them with Koch-friendly puppets.
"When we walk into those school boards, we’re gonna have everything we need to do to go in there with those 9-0 school boards that voted to put these masks back on children with no scientific — it’s done! Giving them the research and the data. Do you understand that?" he yelled. "Forget going into these school boards with frigging data. You go into school boards to remove ’em! That’s what you do! They don’t follow the law! You go in and you remove ’em."
Having worked the crowd into a froth, he put an exclamation point on it. "I’m going in there with 20 strong men, I’m going to speak to the school board and I’m going to give them an option. They can leave or they can be removed."
