I acknowledged that she is a strong-willed person who will speak her mind. In a previous discussion regarding my wife's social media postings, I stated such were hers, and hers alone. "In a right shared by everyone, I fully recognize my wife's right to express her thoughts. ”The Inlander recently made me aware of social media comments attributed to my wife, which the Inlander finds concerning," Larry Haskell said in a statement to the outlet. To come to the bottom of the golden question on Larry’s views, the Inlander specifically asked Larry if he agreed with his wife’s comments but of course, he didn’t directly answer. According to the Inlander, many of Haskell’s posts have appeared on the local Spokane subreddit, discussing Larry’s reelection. Haskell’s posts come at a time when Larry is up for reelection this year. One cannot even claim her account is fake because she is "verified" on Gab, meaning Gab has ensured she's not impersonating anyone else and no one is claiming her identity. "My husband is the Spo Co Prosecutor and he’s the last line of conservative armor that the County has," Haskell posted, according to the Inlander. In addition to sharing her racist views, Haskell has no fear of reminding people of the position her husband holds. There is very little association between her and the GOP whatsoever."īut the main question is what are her husband’s views on this? I mean, his reputation is also on the line since she can be seen as a reflection of him. "The Spokane GOP does not agree with Lesley Haskell’s politics," Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said. Outside of supporting such hate groups, calling herself a white nationalist, and using derogatory terms and slurs, Haskell notably spoke about George Floyd calling him a "scumbag drug addict" and lamented the convictions of not only the officers who killed him, but the two white men who gunned down Ahmaud Arbery.Ĭountless officials have expressed concern over Haskell's social media posts, even other conservatives who have called them “totally inappropriate” since they first began appearing publicly online in 2015. She even included a photo posing proudly with members of the right-wing militant group that the Southern Poverty Center has classified as a hate group. "Here I am proudly posing with some Proud Boys," Haskell wrote in another post. According to the Inlander, even her profile username, Beauseant_Deux_Vult, is a white nationalist reference to the crusader war cry "Deus Vult." While the war cry means "God wills it,” “Beauseant,” is the banner of the Knights Templar that has been used commonly by Norwegian mass shooter Anders Breivik and other extremists. "Our race is dying, we need to make more White babies!" Haskell wrote in one post.īut that's not all. Many of the posts were allegedly reactions to a New York Post story, " MSNBC’s Joy Reid: Conservatives would trade tax cuts to ‘openly say the N-word.' Haskell not only claimed the host was "the true definition of the word” but interacted with racist accounts in regards to using it.
