The Wes Allen Rat Trap: Why "Wessie" is Hiding After the John Wahl Anniston Islamic Center Fallout ​

By Christopher M Peeks March 31, 2026

​I have pondered the matter of just how low Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen would stoop in the 2026 Alabama Lieutenant Governor's race, but this vile little rodent will stop at nothing as he burns with lust for the power he seeks.

​This wretched little sewer rat thought he would win points with voters by going after one of his opponents in this year's Republican primary, former GOP chairman John Wahl. He accused him of celebrating Ramadan when, instead, Wahl had attended an interfaith service at the Anniston Islamic Center; but this, like all his diabolical follies, backfired.

​I laughed reading the comments calling out this little fella for his lowball tactics. Just like the vermin that he is, he cowardly hides in the shadows. He has been eerily silent since making that post, which is unusual for such a sad little man who is usually sticking his foot in his mouth.

​The schoolyard bully who tries to play tough guy has now skipped three debates after the backlash from his dirty tricks against his opponents, afraid to face the music as his campaign implodes into a heap of rubble like a demolished building.

​This is not someone we need in charge of government. Come the May 19th GOP Primary, let’s set some mouse traps for Wessie and send him back to the gutters where he belongs.
