A Political Candidate Beheaded a Satanic Temple Statue. Now He Faces Charges.
vice.com
A former Mississippi political candidate is facing criminal charges after a bedazzled statue of Baphomet, a figure associated with the Satanic Temple, was discovered decapitated at the Iowa State Capitol.
Michael Cassidy, 35, a former U.S. Navy pilot, told Fox News that he saw the controversy surrounding the display, which was heavily criticized by Republican politicians like Ron DeSantis, and drove to the Iowa Capitol to see it for himself. He said it hit a “nerve” and went on to destroy it.
…
According to an archived version of his campaign website, Cassidy pushed for a 10-year prison sentence for anyone who destroys a statue in his own state.

This is true Leopards Ate My Face territory.
Not quite lol Leopards Ate My Face is more Turkeys Voting for Christmas, where someone aligns with someone else in spite of the person they're aligning with clearly not having their interests at heart. Like the vast majority of Trump supporters, or LGBTQ hexbear users supporting Putin.
This is just plain hypocrisy, like "the only moral abortion is my abortion".
Turkeys Voting For Thanksgiving*
(Christmas isn't the turkey holiday, FYI. In fact, it's been a goose, historically.)
In other parts of the world "turkeys voting for Christmas" is a common saying.
Cursory search shows it's exclusively a UK idiom, to be accurate. So, "other part" singular being a small island where turkeys are not, nor have ever been, indigenous. That tracks.
That's right, the UK has peacocks in its trees instead of turkeys.
Henry VIII imported them, smartass.
As someone who's never eaten a goose in his life (though I would happily try it, those rude honking bastards), I've had turkey on Christmas Eve at relatives. Though it's often ham.
I hate it when turkey is ham. Stay in your lane, meat products!
