Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s office says it didn’t review an incendiary video address<\/a> prepared by the adviser he put in charge of the state’s new Office of Family & Life.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

In the video presented May 11 to the Alaska Family Council, Dunleavy’s then-Pro-Family Policy Advisor Jeremy Cubas described supporters of abortion rights as “seemingly demonically possessed” and claimed they were motivated by a “primal urge” to “sacrifice a child at the altar of their false idols.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

The video, obtained last week in response to a public records request, raises new questions about Dunleavy’s oversight of Cubas, whom he hired last year. Dunleavy promoted Cubas in April in spite of an easy-to-find podcast Cubas co-hosted where he downplayed rape, defended Adolf Hitler, casually used the N-word and denigrated transgender people.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
