A self-proclaimed preacher who runs a chapter of a hate group is back in action in the Last Frontier.

David Grisham, who achieved a bit of minor celebrity in 2016 by telling children in Amarillo, Texas, there is no Santa Claus, has taken his act to North Pole, Alaska.

The Christmas-themed city just outside of Fairbanks is the year-round home of the Santa Claus House, where people flock to have their photos taken with St. Nick.

. While there, he proceeded to tell parents and children that they were living a lie.

鈥淚 wanted to tell you kids today that Santa does not exist. Santa Claus is not real,鈥� Grisham said to shoppers who mostly ignored him. 鈥淲hat you鈥檙e going to see today is just a man dressed in a suit 鈥�. Your parents have been telling you a story that is not true.鈥�

The preaching went on for about a minute before a store employee interrupted him.

鈥淓xcuse me, sir. We understand that you have your beliefs, but other people have their beliefs as well,鈥� the employee said. 鈥淲e would appreciate it if you would not interfere with our customers.鈥�

鈥淥h, I鈥檓 not interfering. I鈥檓 just telling the truth,鈥� Grisham said. 鈥淚鈥檒l be done in about a minute.鈥�

Grisham, who is based in Anchorage, kept preaching as people told him 鈥済o outside, nobody cares.鈥�

Grisham, a former Department of Energy security guard, did the same thing in 2016, when he was head of Repent Amarillo.

In 2010 the Texas group announced a boycott of the city of Houston for electing a lesbian mayor. The group has also targeted abortion clinics, gays and lesbians, Jews, Christians, Roman Catholics and other they consider not Christian.

Grisham also attempted to burn a Quran in 2010, only to have it snatched away by a skateboarder, who then gave it to the local Islamic center.

At the Westgate Mall in Amarillo, according to a video posted online, Grisham approached a line of families waiting to have pictures taken with Santa.

鈥淒on鈥檛 lie to your children and tell them there鈥檚 such a thing as Santa 鈥� when you know there鈥檚 no such thing as flying reindeer,鈥� Grisham said.

His preaching was interrupted and came to an end when several parents at the mall approached Grisham and told him to stop.

鈥淒on鈥檛 come over here and talking your mess,鈥� one man said.

Grisham fired off a parting shot.

鈥淜ids, there is no Santa. Your parents are lying to you. There is no Santa,鈥� Grisham said.

And, he鈥檒l wonder why there was only a lump of coal in his stocking this year.
