Get a lungful of that down home racist shit.
TRUMP: "30 percent-plus of the people living in suburbia are minorities ... the number is even higher -- they say 35 -- but I like to cut it a little bit lower. You know why? That way I can never get myself in too much trouble with the fake news." pic.twitter.com/pZVEhxKpFx— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 12, 2020
Meanwhile, The New York Post ran a story about the dumbass mayor in Luray - just about 30 miles up the road from here:
A Virginia mayor is facing calls to resign for a Facebook post saying Joe Biden “just announced Aunt Jemima” as his running mate in his bid for the White House.
Luray Mayor Barry Presgraves posted the comment late Sunday on his Facebook page. It was later removed, but not before the offensive remark was condemned by a council member, town officials and residents in the small town where he’s served as mayor since 2008.
Presgraves said he saw the post last week and shared it because he “thought it was funny,” but claimed he wasn’t prepared for the ensuing blowback.
“I had no idea people would react the way they did,” he said. “If I had a chance to do it over again, I wouldn’t do it. You can apologize all you want, but no one will believe it.”
Presgraves said he took down the post within 30 minutes and insisted he had no negative “intent behind it.”
And the kicker:
“I don’t even depict that as racist,” he continued. “I ate Aunt Jemima all my life.”
