From the article:

DONALD TRUMP’S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE likes to present a tough-on-crime image. But how far it goes to cultivate that image has been a recurring source of controversy. It’s not just the prosecution of political opponents and the greenlighting of immigration crackdowns that largely dispense with due process. It’s also in the rhetoric—which often veers into the disturbing and the bizarre.

Last week, one of the department’s top prosecutors argued that, in the pursuit of cracking down on criminals, eugenics could be a useful tool.

The prosecutor in question was Ellis Boyle, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina. Boyle was appearing on a local conservative livestream, NC Chats, to discuss—among other things—the administration’s investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar, as well as the indictments of a handful of noncitizens for having allegedly voted illegally in the 2024 elections in North Carolina. Eventually, however, the conversation turned to crime, the supposed enabling of it by liberals, and how frustrating it is to see violent criminals get off on an insanity defense.


“I think there’s a big component—if you took out [the] 5 percent of the population that’s bad and removed them from society, so they don’t create mayhem and create, you know, babies with the gene pool of more bad, then I think, in two, maybe three generations, think of how great this population would be.”

“But,” he finished, “that’s something that takes willpower.”

“That’s very biblical,” Clark said. “I like it.”

“Praise the Lord,” Boyle replied.

    Pretty bold words from a guy who looks like the Downs Syndrome gene just narrowly missed him by less than the width of a chromosome…

    The people who think nothing matters need to be shown once again that they are outnumbered by the people who do think things matter.

    Studies show biological abnormalities in the brains of conservatives. If conservatives embrace eugenics, we can do that as well.

    Conservatives need to be excluded from every facet of normal society. They harm, ruin or kill absolutely everything they touch.

    If they ignore or rig the midterms, they are coming for the disabled. Expect the autism epidemic to become their target.

    I really hope I’m wrong. But when RFK led with “they’ll never pay taxes” talking about Autism, I knew exactly what they were saying as if they said the words plain as day.

    “If you don’t contribute, you are expendable”

    Bye bye old people, disabled, criminals…wait I’ve heard this one before.

    Tick tock 6 days.

    It’s ok guys, they’re being very specific that it’s just about the 5% of people who are “bad.” So it can’t be abused.

    The lawyer profession really needs to start enforcing professionalism. Citing junk science and still being able to practice law shouldn’t be a thing.

    Nail that 5% to the cross of death instead of “let us not let this happen again.” It’s a death cult, and they wonder why church attendance has fallen.

    Yeah why don’t you start with all those republican pedos? Must be something deeply ingrained with being a republican that makes them want to sexually assault minors, right Ellis?
