NC Official's Claim About Dems, Pedophilia Might Get Her Axed

WAYNESVILLE, NC — It's one thing if your eccentric uncle goes on a diatribe about how a particular political party is ruining America. It's another thing entirely when that person is a county elections board member rather than your eccentric uncle, and that person said a particular political party is trying to make pedophilia lawful.

Such is the case in North Carolina, where Cornelia Cree reportedly could be removed from her position on the Haywood County Board of Elections over her Facebook post. On Sept. 18, Cree wrote that the 2018 election was urgent because, among other things, Democrats planned to legalize pedophilia and would be able to push such legislation through the Supreme Court if they could block Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination.

Here's the post in its entirety:

"This election is urgent because the Democrats have the following plans: Legalization of pedophilia. If they can block Trump’s Kavenaugh nomination they can push this through the next Supreme Court. The Democrats want to revive the Catholic vote. The church will not be stuck with millions in judgments against hundreds of victims. Those judgments could bankrupt the church. The Catholic vote has been heavily reduced by the Democrats pro-abortion policy. The Democrats push open borders because the largest group of illegals are Catholic which statistically vote Democrat at least in their first few voting opportunities. Such a Court ruling would make child abuse legal."

According to the newspaper, Cree is a Republican who was appointed to the elections board, which is based in Waynesville. She is one of four board members listed on the county's website. A letter to her indicates she might have actually broken the law by expressing support or opposition for political candidates. While she didn't specifically mention any candidates by name, the State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement plans to decide her fate Wednesday.
