A man running for Congress as an Independent in Virginia admitted on Thursday that he is a pedophile.
Nathan Larson, a 37-year-old accountant, told HuffPost in a phone call that he created chat rooms that served as a place for pedophiles and violence-minded misogynists; he also admitted that he bragged on one of those websites that he raped his late ex-wife.
“It’s a mix of both,” Larson said when asked if he was a pedophile or just wrote about it. “When people go over the top, there’s a grain of truth to what they say.”
HuffPost confirmed that Larson’s campaign website shared an IP address with his sites, stupid.org and incelocalypse.today, which were terminated by domain hosts on Tuesday.
“A lot of people are tired of political correctness and being constrained by it,” Larson said. “People prefer when there’s an outsider who doesn’t have anything to lose and is willing to say what’s on a lot of people’s minds.”
Larson said there was a “grain of truth” to his writings about father-daughter incest and a separate one about repeatedly raping his ex-wife. He added that a lot of women have rape fantasies.
On his campaign manifesto, Larson says the platform he is running on is establishing free trade and protecting “benevolent white supremacy.” Larson also wants to legalize incestuous marriage and child pornography.
He also called Adolf Hitler a “white supremacist hero,” said women need to be classified as property of either fathers or husbands, and showed sympathy for men who identify as involuntary celibates, or incels.
