Republican election chief accused of slipping MDMA, cocaine into granddaughters’ ice cream
Republican election chief accused of slipping MDMA, cocaine into granddaughters’ ice cream
Damn. So desperate to be a victim, he made victims of his own grandkids. Piece of trash. The ironic part is he was caught by the surveillance state he no doubt supported till now.
According to Raleigh, North Carolina NBC affiliate WRAL News, on August 8, Yokeley approached a Wilmington police officer and claimed his two juvenile granddaughters had discovered two suspicious pills in ice cream they’d purchased from Dairy Queen on Oleander Drive.
However, surveillance video later revealed that Yokeley himself was seen placing the pills into both of the girls’ treats. The pills reportedly tested positive for MDMA and cocaine, as noted in an arrest warrant. The authorities said they have evidence he slipped drugs into the girls' ice cream.
This is MAGA/the Republican party in a nutshell. Getting people worked up and freaking out chasing imaginary LGBTQ+/Dem/woke bogeymen while their own members are literally harming children.
I'll be curious if in 6 months time the whole affair will be covered up/dropped
Trumped, if you would. I think the dictionary explaination of the term will change in the decades to come.
Director position at the CDC just opened up
Even assuming he wasn't a fuck faced idiot, what would framing some poor service worker even achieve?
Other than a sadist boner of course
He probably wanted to generate a story about a minority endangering his pure white grandkids, or just a simple scam against the company for a settlement.
Share this EVERYWHERE. Especially truth social. Over and over again
The pills reportedly tested positive for MDMA and cocaine
Coke comes in pills now?
At least it wasn't fluoride. That would be unforgivable.
Boy, this guy must really have a grudge against DQ. I suppose that must have black/latino/gay/trans employees or something. That's enough to send most MAGAts over the ledge these days.
I assume he tried to drug his grandaughters, the girls discovered the pills, and then he had to play dumb and come up with a story "Dairy Queen must have put those in there!!"
No, he definitely wanted to use this to stoke the fire in the minds of the "drug problem" locally. The DQ is probably staffed by some minority or other group that he hates, so if the optics show those "evil people putting drugs into innocent little white girls food" to create more hatred. Just pure evil.

I don't know. If the kids had eaten those pills, they would have been fucked up or dead. Either way, authorities would have gotten involved. I suspect that this was his plan from the beginning.
Edit: Wait, is MDMA a date rape drug? I assumed he was staging this to go after DQ. Was he instead trying to drug them to assault them?
Why does he have coke and ecstasy?
He probably just had some ecstasy and that had a little cocaine in it. Also if they just did a Marquis test before sending it off both mdma and cocaine can show as the same color so they would just go with that until they get confirmation from the lab.
You know how parents get worked up about strangers poisoning Halloween candy? How there have been waves of panics about that? Razor blades in apples, all that? Not a real thing. You know what actually created those fears? An incident --- a single incident --- of a guy killing his kid in an insurance fraud case in the 1970s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Clark_O%27Bryan
Ronald Clark O'Bryan (October 19, 1944 – March 31, 1984), nicknamed The Candy Man, The Man Who Killed Halloween and The Pixy Stix Killer, was an American man convicted of killing his eight-year-old son Timothy (April 5, 1966 – October 31, 1974) on Halloween 1974 with a potassium cyanide-laced Pixy Stix that was ostensibly collected during a trick or treat outing. O'Bryan poisoned his son in order to claim life insurance money to ease his own financial troubles, as he was $100,000 in debt. O'Bryan also distributed poisoned candy to his daughter and three other children in an attempt to cover up his crime; however, neither his daughter nor the other children ate the poisoned candy. He was convicted of capital murder in June 1975 and sentenced to death. He was executed by lethal injection in March 1984.
Really not enthusiastic about the idea of a "fast food workers must be drugging my kids" panic.
It's weird how mass rumors spread in the '70s even in the absence of an Internet. I remember one that involved Rod Stewart supposedly swallowing so much sperm that he had to go to the hospital to have his stomach pumped. Stewart even talked about this one on a recent podcast; he was well aware of the rumor and even knew who started it.
According to the report, neither child consumed the drugs; the pills were promptly sent to a state laboratory for further confirmation.
thank fuck he was way too stupid to crush it up
They don't mention the ages, but those kids could have died.
Even still, I cannot imagine the horror of MDMA+Coke comedown through the eyes of a child.
Fucking psycho.
Another republican pedophile you say.
Is it Tuesday again alrwady?
Sometimes it feels like it's Tuesday every day of the week with these folks.
Not pedophila this time, he was trying to plant drugs and then get the ice cream shop in trouble.
Yokeley approached a Wilmington police officer and claimed his two juvenile granddaughters had discovered two suspicious pills in ice cream they’d purchased from Dairy Queen
Sounds like he wasn't trying to drug them, fortunately I guess. Either way the guy is still off his rocker.
Or, he was trying to drug them and the children found the drugs, so he tried to make them think it wasn't him.
At the very least, we know he had the drugs, and we know he put them in the ice cream where they could have been consumed by his granddaughters.
It was him. People on Dairy Queen salary don’t slip mdma into kids ice cream

Conservatives are pedos. They are one and the same. There is no divide anymore. It’s the party for pedo perverts
Pedo Party
Reminder that the conservatives in your life are 100% onboard.
The drag queens have done it again
Overlook the creepiness and realize that this man tried to cosby two little girls, in his custody, with ice cream, and failed. So he's pathetic even among other pedophiles.
MAGAs main characteristic is hatred, but incompetence is a close second. Bonus for every accusation being a confession.
It's a different kind of scummy going on here; he didn't want his grandkids to actually eat it, he wanted to get media attention and stoke more fear in his base. It would be like someone slipping razors into their own kids candy to rage-bait about Halloween being unsafe.
To be clear, this isn't any better than the alternative; he put his grandkids in danger for a publicity stunt that could have very easily resulted in them consuming the drugs. Which also raises the question how how he got that cocaine in the first place.
From his usual hook up I'm sure.
Welcome to North Carolina. This state is so gerrymandered that we have Virginia Fox.
You read this and the first question is why? Its also the least likely to ever get answered. Settle for the what he did and make sure he can't do it ever again. Of course in todays world trump will give him a medal.
Why are you not asking OP that? The title of this post starts with the words republican election chief.
Edit: look at this troll farm three day old account.
Republican Party is run by sickening pedos.
PedoCons
wow grandparent of the year award. seems like he wanted to play the victim and have a "personal story" about drugs. he should be treated as if his intentions were to sexually molest his granddaughter after getting her high. get him a taste of his own medicine.
Just enough info for most to think of something else. Click bait is getting better every day. Soon there will be no news at all.
Do they make cocaine in pill form?
No that's why its bullshit. Cocaine isn't psychoactive orally at quantities that could be pressed into a pill. Its also fuckinhlg expensive and MDMA is dirt cheap. Pill pressers could've added 10x more MDMA in a pill for less amount of money then a non psychoactive amount of cocaine. Makes no sense.
Not saying this didn't happen. But outlets never understand how shit works irl.
Yeah, it's like back in the early 90s we'd do pills and people would say the heavy ones had smack in them. I had to explain, weight for weight, smack was way more expensive than mdma. And I was doing both. They cut it with some other shit. Really good pills back in those days, though. Best night of your life, every time.
Utterly insane. Litteral demons in the flesh. What sick fuck tries to drug his own granddaughters? America really doesn't put forth our best do we? Execute this monster.
But both sides!
Buttery males!
He posted a $100,000 secured bond after his arrest and transport to the New Hanover County Detention Center, per the report.

They need to do a rape kit too
Tfw no grandpa to give me drugs. 😔
James Edwin Yokeley Jr. — the 66-year-old Republican chairman of the Surry County, North Carolina, Board of Elections
He has scary eyes
That sucks that they didn’t even get to enjoy such good drugs.
Oh wow, ANOTHER pedophile rapist Republican. Does he also use too much spray tan? Release the trumpstein files.
Great read! Haven't had a laugh like this in a while. Fucking idiot!
This is normal NC GOP stuff. They are criminals, most of them are pedophiles, and they do everything they can to make elections as screwed up as possible.
What a stupid fucking yokel.
Jesus fucking christ on a cross.
The college version of me wouldn't mind having a grandpa like that
While you may not have been exemplary, your ability to consent and make informed decisions existed at that age.
To what end!?
Sick broken twisted human.
People aren't reading the article. He both put the pills in the ice cream and reported them to police. He was trying to implicate Dairy Queen or one of their workers in a crime.
I swear to god Republicans are wasting their talents on politics. They have such amazing imaginations. they should be writers or artists or something. like I highly doubt any of us would think "fuck Dairy Queen, I hate Dairy Queen. I know! i'll go buy some MDMA and Cocaine and then plant it in their Ice Cream..that'll show them!"
or Jewish Space Lasers. or Flat Earths. or any of that. Sure DiscWorld exists but wouldn't you want to watch a movie about Jewish Space Lasers? ....oh right Spaceballs.
Ok maybe Republicans aren't talented they just rip off other peoples ideas.
You're kinda on to something.
In my late-stage activism, I have been studying neurology, and i'm convinced that conservatives are people who don't have abstraction/language skills to be able to think critically... however, what the brain does best is invent stories. It's all it does actually, it writes stories to explain your feelings and experiences, and those stories don't have to be logical or make sense, it just tries to string together any old wild narrative to make things connect... this is where depressive rumination comes from, which CBT tries to treat and stop, and this is also where conspiracy theories come from.
Conservatives are highly emotional, so their stories are WILD and unpredictable, and this is why they seem to be able to hold so many conflicting ideas at once. It would be genuinely fascinating if they didn't want to kill us all 😶
It's wild how they scream and cry about the "10 commandments" but have zero hesitation breaking any and all of those commandments in the most blatant and direct ways imaginable.
"Do not put ecstasy and cocaine in thy granddaughter's ice cream" must have been on the tablet Moses dropped.
Ever wonder why they scream "false flag" or "fed" every time some nazi POS makes them look bad by agreeing with them in public?
It's because they pull shit like this and expect everyone else to as well.
Yep, it's always projection. They only know how they act so they assume everyone else would act the same way.
The article says that he did both of those things, but it isn't clear on what happened between those two events. Did he put the pills in and go straight to the cops? Did he give the ice cream to the kids? Were the pills clearly visible or were they buried?
I agree that the most likely explanation is that he was trying to create a story and/or attack DQ and its employees. But it isn't totally implausible that he might have been trying to drug the kids and pivoted when they found the pills. He has to be an idiot either way, they are both terrible plans.
No, they're really not both equally dumb plans. In one he got found out because there was video surveillance he didn't expect. In the other he may have had a double homicide on his hands because he tried to do something untoward with drugs that aren't stealthy in ice cream and don't facilitate it, and instead of making up some lie so the girls don't tell anyone about the failed pill plan, he escalates it straight to the police.
This isn't a complicated mystery.
People don't read anything but the headline before spouting off whatever comes into their head.
I sometimes wish people were required to answer a few questions about the article before they could comment. We'd have fewer comments, but would we be missing anything of value?
