Mike Munzing of the Aliso Viejo City Council is an insane person.
Sometimes the media can exaggerate stuff. This is no exaggeration. Bruh is riding the Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs Express. And locals suffer for it.
Mike Munzing is a member of the Aliso Viejo City Council.
He is a hard-right Republican who represents District 5.
He is (with apologies to the craziest person you know of) the craziest person you now know of.
And should that sound mean or unfair or disrespectful, well, our bad. But if you take Jack Nicholson’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest” character, combine it with Jack Nicholson’s “The Shining” character, then throw in your great uncle Burl, who devotes his days to combing T-Street Beach with a metal detector and his nights to ordering large quantities of erectile dysfunction pills from Alex Jones’ website—you’ve got Mike Munzing.
I’ve spoken to myriad people for this post, and Mike Munzing is the type of guy you beg not to be seated next to on an airplane. He’s the type of guy who has three things he’s capable of discussing: 1. His big guns. 2. His bigger guns. 3. His biggest guns. He’s the type of guy who believes (and I’m not exaggerating this point—it’s his honest take) the United Nations has capabilities to read your thoughts. He thinks weather can be controlled. His thinks gays convert straight children into becoming gay children. He thinks Brian Austin Green deserved multiple Emmys for his portrayal of David Silver on “Beverly Hills 90210.”1
And while his buffoonery should be little more than Saturday morning fodder at the nearby Bruegger's Bagels2, his status as a council member makes Munzing legitimately dangerous.
Hence, today’s post.
This Wednesday at 7 pm, the Aliso Viejo City Council will meet inside Aliso Viejo City Hall on 12 Journey. And that night, Munzing plans on advancing an agenda item to ban the flying of "special interest" flags on city property in Aliso Viejo. As noted by the Aliso Niguel Democratic Club newsletter, “While phrased broadly, as with similar policies adopted in Huntington Beach and by the OC Supervisors, this is a specific attack on the LGBTQ pride flag, which the city has flown during pride month for years.” [I will 100 percent be in attendance. Y’all should definitely come, too]
It’s worth noting here that Mike Munzing is as MAGA as Kid Rock and red Made-in-China baseball caps. He has no problem supporting a man who bragged about grabbing women by the pussies. He has no problem supporting a man who was accused of rape/sexual assault by dozens of women. He has no problem voting for a man who cheated on wife No. 1 with wife No. 2, wife No. 2 with wife No. 3 and wife No. 3 with a porn star—who he paid off in hush money. He doesn’t mind that Donald Trump created a fake “university” to bilk poor people of their money. He doesn’t mind that he failed to pay hundreds of contractors. He doesn’t mind that he lied about Barack Obama being a Kenyan-born Muslim with a fake birth certificate. He doesn’t mind that he mocked POWs, made up being a 9.11 hero, refused to honor our World War I heroes because of rain, received five military deferments for phony bone spurs. Mike Munzing is cool with Donald Trump ridiculing the overweight, the unattractive, the disabled. He’s cool with him pardoning the 1.6 attackers—even those who harmed police officers. Who maced and beat down police officers.
He’s cool with all of that stuff …
But heaven fucking forbid someone fly a gay pride flag above city hall.
Heaven. Fucking. Forbid.
And to read up on Mike Munzing is to come to terms with the human embodiment of an infested pustule. According to this excellent 2024 post from Orange Juice Blog, last August Munzing threatened “to terminate city contracts and leases with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Rancho Santa Margarita and Aliso Viejo due to their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program.”
Here (again, big nod to the Orange Juice Blog for finding this gem) is an e-mail Munzing sent to members of the (all-white, all-Republican) Rancho Santa Margarita City Council …
Wrote the Orange Juice Blog: “When asked what he meant by ‘Do what’s right for the kids,’ Munzing responded: ‘Try not to let them be influenced and indoctrinated by leftist and, in some cases, Marxist/Communist ideology. All of these authors focus on making everything about ‘race,’ which is inappropriate for the young minds under their care. Kids should be allowed to be kids, and they are too young to deal with a curriculum based on a political agenda. For years, the Boys & Girls Club did a great job working with the kids, and they are the ones who made this change without asking city leaders (OCGOP Central Committee) or, most likely, the parents, what they think about their new direction.”
And I am so fed up with self-righteous turds like Mike Munzing.
So, so, so, so fed up.
Biff, you’re worried about indoctrination? You’re worried about communist ideology? Really? So riddle me this: What do you call it when a man lies about losing an election, refuses to concede, watches with glee as his lemmings attack the United States Capitol, then blames it on everyone else? What do you call that, Biff? Is that democracy? Because, based on all your weird-ass Facebook and Instagram posts, you love you some Trump. Love everything he stands for.
Hell, here you go …
And since we have you here, Mike, two things I’d like to note:
• 1. Since its recent humble beginnings, The Truth OC hasn’t specifically targeted elected officials. Like, we call people out, note their nonsense, hope they fail. But we haven’t said, “Oh, we’re coming after you.” Mike—we’re coming after you. We will dig and dig and dig, and make sure your 2028 reelection effort is both a colossal failure and a local humiliation. When we’re done with you, you’ll be lucky if the local CVS fills your prescriptions without the pharmacist giggling.
We see you, kid. We see you.
• 2. In that same (wonderful) post, the Orange Juice Blog noted that Mike allegedly “verbally harassed two Aliso Viejo female officers.” This letter was particularly dopamine …
Thanks to all this nonsense, Mike was required to receive counseling and have a permanent City Hall escort (aka: baby sitter). A new rule was added for members of the council, stating that, “You cannot talk about a woman’ bodily functions in City Hall. You cannot talk about the front part of a woman’s body or the back part.” I am officially designating the ordinance THE MUNZING WEIRDO RULE.
And, Mike—we don’t care if this information is nine-years old or nine-days old. You and your MAGA folks have been throwing mud pies for decades in an effort to maintain power and divide your constituents. You’ve poisoned the well in ugly, horrifying ways. Thanks to the demise of local media, normal Republicans presume you’re one of them—a normal Republican. They know not the depths of your cray cray.
Well, our days of indifference are over.
Consider this website and this space your new running mate.
We’re onto you, bruh.
We’re onto you.
PS: Here’s the best best best thing ever. Mike was seriously ill—which, obviously, is not the best thing ever, and I’m glad he’s OK. But the dude supported a man who wanted to gut Obamacare … then Mike started a GoFundMe to raise money for his care. Zero irony. Like, what the actual hell is wrong with these warped people?
Admittedly, I made this one up.
As a native New Yorker, I need to say it: These are not real bagels. They’re fine. But, no. Not real.
Attended a dinner party with him a few years ago. He was bloviating on gun rights. One of the attendees (a conservative Republican) asked him why he felt it necessary to carry a gun. He vehemently replied "Because I'm an American!" She looked very confused since none of us pack heat.
Shirley’s Bagels has real bagels.
