The man behind Project 2025, the rightwing policy manifesto that includes calls for a sharp increase in immigrant deportations if Donald Trump is elected, told university colleagues about two decades ago that he had killed a neighborhood dog with a shovel because it was barking and disturbing his family, according to** **former colleagues who spoke to the Guardian.

Kevin Roberts, now the president of the Heritage Foundation, is alleged to have told colleagues and dinner guests that he killed a neighbor’s pit bull around 2004 while he was working as a still relatively unknown history professor at New Mexico State University.

Republicans: “Immigrants are eating pets!”

Also republicans: “I killed a pet dog with a shovel because it was barking”

"Kill as many dogs as you like however you like... but eating them afterward? That goes beyond the pale!"

So? Killing Dogs is as Republican as School Shootings! I mean as Republican as Dead Women! I mean as American as Apple Pie that's what I mean!

What's with this people and killing dogs??

They want to take lives, and that was an outlet for them.

This guy seems to be moving on to bigger kills...
