Watch video below! In a compelling interview with Human Events’s Jack Posobiec, Michael Cassidy, the courageous Christian veteran who recently dismantled the Satanic Temples’ statue of Baphomet at the Iowa State Capitol, passionately urged his fellow Americans to reconsider their cultural values and reject the influence of Satan.

Cassidy’s call to action stems from his concern over the alarming response he has received. Astonishingly, he has encountered a wave of hate mail from individuals either sympathetic to Satanism or unwilling to acknowledge the malevolence associated with Satan, as well as the inappropriateness of displaying statues representing him in public spaces.

Addressing this mixed response, Cassidy shared, “I’ve received both positive and negative feedback, which has been quite remarkable. Some anonymous voices have applauded my firm stance against Satanism, recognizing the degradation in our society. That, in itself, has been heartening.”

However, Cassidy did not shy away from revealing the disturbing vitriol he has faced for his actions. He recounted, “I’ve also received a significant amount of hate mail from Satanists and their sympathizers. It’s astonishing – when I mention ‘hate mail,’ I mean hateful messages via fake Facebook accounts and Twitter trolls.”

Highlighting one particularly poignant example, Cassidy recounted a message from an infuriated father in Iowa who lamented that he could no longer share the satanic idol with his daughter. Cassidy shared, “I received a message from a father who was upset because the statue was no longer there. He had planned to show his daughter the statue of Satan that day.”
