| Bigot, Pig, Idiot of the Week: Warren Hurst of Sevier County, Tennessee |
This Tennessee "Commissioner" was calling for "White Rights" and attacks Mayor Pete as a "queer running for President." What an IGNORANT, BIGOTED, UNEDUCATED, WHITE NATIONALIST jackass.
It's appalling that such ignorant, stupid people are still elected to office in the state I once lived in and love. He is a disgrace and should be immediately tossed out of office. People in public office should have some sense of decorum and stand for all people. This ignorant man needs to be thrown out. What's also infuriating is that HALF of the people in that hearing CLAPPED when this asshole said those things. YOU LOOK PRETTY DUMB, TENNESSEE.
Here's the story about the IDIOT OF THE WEEK - from www.thehill.com:
Tennessee county commissioner unloads on white rights, 'queer running for president'
A Tennessee county commissioner said he has “very few rights” as a white man in America during a Monday meeting where he also said an openly gay person running for president is “about as ugly as you can get.”
Sevier County Commissioner Warren Hurst’s comments came as he spoke on a pending vote over becoming a gun sanctuary city, reports WVLT, a local CBS affiliate.
“It's time we wake up people. It's time, it's past time," Hurst said, according to video footage reported by WVLT.
"I'm not prejudice, a white male in this country has very few rights and they're getting took more every day,” he added, though he did not expand on what rights were being taken away from him for being a white man based on the reported video footage.
Hurst then hit the Democratic Party candidates, specifically calling out an openly gay candidate for running in the race.
