Blood-drinking pagan and Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate Augustus Sol Invictus was denied entry to Canada this weekend, FloridaPolitics.com reports. In a press release, Invictus, who is running to replace Marco Rubio, said that he was barred over ties to neo-Nazis.

Invictus, who once described himself as being “of genius intellect,” is licensed to practice law in four states, as well as federal court, FloridaPolitics.com reports. In 2014, he began working on the criminal appeal of the former leader of a central Florida neo-Nazi group who had been convicted on domestic terrorism charges. From the press release:

The candidate’s intention was to attend a scheduled speech in downtown Vancouver at Liberty Square on Friday, but the border agent did not believe him.

“Canadian Border Service then spent 3.5 hours investigating me,” said Invictus. “I was interrogated about my affiliation with neo-Nazis, about the charges of Fascism, and about allegations of racism.” They went so far as to order him to remove his shirt to search for tattoos with neo-Nazi symbols, which they did not find, he said.

“I was a politician traveling to give a speech and yet they treated me like a gang member trying to run guns across the border,” said Invictus. “They said that no good could come of my entry into the country because violence would certainly ensue.” The communists, who had already commenced a vicious protest against Invictus in Portland, Oregon earlier in the week, were the ones threatening violence, he said. “There is no question my expulsion from Canada was due to political reasons.”

In 2013, the Associated Press reported, Invictus walked from central Florida to the Mojave Desert, sacrificing a goat and drinking its blood in thanks for his surviving the arduous journey.

“He is the absolute exact opposite of a Libertarian. He’s a self-proclaimed fascist. He’s promoting a second civil war,” former Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Adrian Wyllie said last year. “It’s absolute insanity. We must explain to people this is the opposite of Libertarians. This guy has no place in the Libertarian Party.”
