Save Anchorage Cheerleader & Assembly Person Alleges Rivera "Hiding Behind Race Card." Plays 'Victim' Again

Anchorage Assembly member and Save Anchorage cheerleader Jamie Allard made a startling accusation today, accusing her colleague, Felix Rivera, of "hiding behind the race card."

Allard made her comment on the Save Anchorage group, where she shared a post from the far-Right Wasilla-based blog Alaska Watchman. The Alaska Watchman is one of 14 Facebook pages listed as members of the Save Anchorage Facebook group.

The post claimed that Anchorage Assembly member Rivera had taken aim at white males in public office while participating in an Alaska Black Caucus Community Discussion centered on BIPOC candidates running for political office.

Rivera, a Hispanic man who also identifies as gay, was savagely attacked online by members of the Save Anchorage group and by many who supported a failed effort to recall him this year with some slinging baseless accusations on social media that Rivera was a pedophile. At least one person suggested Rivera was looking to get assassinated.

“I really think our political establishments need to get over this idea that only a certain type-cast of individual can run for office,” Rivera said. “Because when you do that, you’re typically going to go to someone who is white and someone who is male, and we need to get beyond that very rigid thinking in our political establishments.”

Rivera's comment asserted that white men dominate politics—a true statement as white men represent 30% of the population but are 62% of officeholders, dominating both chambers of Congress, 42 state legislatures, and statewide roles across the nation.

Assembly member Allard, who made international headlines for defending Nazi terminology on Alaska vanity license plates in January, also fabricated her own Facebook deplatforming, was kicked off the Alaska Human Rights Commission by Alaska Governor Dunleavy and who more recently labeled all transgender individuals as mentally ill—appears to be playing 'victim' again this time alleging that she has been "ruthlessly attacked" by Rivera based on her "values and political beliefs."

The Save Anchorage cheerleader neglected to document in her post how Rivera had ruthlessly attacked her values and political beliefs, nor did she explain how Mr. Rivera was "hiding" behind the "race card."

Hopefully, Allard can keep her composure and not lose it as she did in April.
