A Wannabe Assassin And Self-Described Pedophile Is Running For Congress — Who’s To Blame?

by Anders Hagstrom

A self-described pedophile and rapist who was imprisoned for threatening to assassinate the President of the United States is running for Congress, and The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Anders Hagstrom will tell you who’s to blame.

Nathan Larson is the candidate, running in Virginia, and Democratic ex-Governor Terry McAuliffe is the man who allowed him to run by restoring voting rights to thousands of convicted felons in 2016, Larson among them. Larson landed himself in prison in 2008 after sending a letter to the Secret Service threatening to kill the president. That felony conviction would have made it impossible for him to vote or run for office for the rest of his life, but McAullife’s blanket amnesty changed that. Since his release from prison, Larson has revealed some horrifying things about his late ex-wife and his sexual preferences.

Larson probably doesn’t have much of a chance winning his election, but McAullife has been eyeing a 2020 presidential run. This probably isn’t the best start.
