Interior Official Compared Parkland Students To Nazis, Promoted Conspiracies

A high-ranking official at the Interior Departments Bureau of Reclamation has repeatedly shared conspiracy theories on his personal Facebook page, a review by TPM found, including posts calling the students who survived the Parkland school shooting Nazis and alleging the massacre was a staged false flag.
Kevin Sabo, who was originally hired for a career position in budget analysis at the DOI in 2016, was promoted to the political role of acting chief of the Office of Congressional and Legislative Affairs at the Bureau of Reclamation when the Trump administration came into power in 2017, according to federal pay scale records. In that capacity, he is tasked with working with members of Congress on public land and water policy. The role, which has historically been filled by political appointees, is listed as vacant on the bureaus website because the White House has yet to officially nominate someone. The DOI confirmed to TPM that Sabo has been acting as the official liaison to Capitol Hill, and his LinkedIn page lists the acting chief title.
TPMs review of Sabos public Facebook page which lists his Interior Department title found multiple posts about the students who survived the Parkland school shooting. The Nazis took everyones guns away too, he wrote on March 24. A lot of similarities with these kids. Earlier, on Feb. 25, he shared a lengthy, convoluted post asserting that the mass shooting was a false flag conspiracy involving the county sheriff, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz (D-FL), the FBI, and the CIAs Project MKUltra mind control techniques.
Did any students die by friendly fire? Was Cruz a lone gunman or not a gunman at all? read the post, which also includes references to the Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies.
