Side… Controversies? So he’s already mired in a main controversy? Glad he stepped down, may he never step up again in life.

In before all the bullshit excuses for bad behavior and desperate cries of “But that doesn’t necessarily make him a racist!” from all the self-appointed devil’s advocates.

And because it’s Florida, it’s not enough for him to be a racist dumbass, he has to be a racist dumbass who was given the Martin Luther King Jr award for registering voters. From the linked article:
Ertel has a long record of expanding voting rights and registering people to vote. The city of Longwood gave him a Martin Luther King Jr. award for registering voters. In 2012, Ertel spoke out against Scott’s purge of so-called non-citizens from the voter rolls, saying many of those who were purged were actually eligible voters.
What the fuck Florida?

This Florida gentleman is not worthy of dirtying the reputation of the governor who said, on multiple occasions during the campaign against a Black opponent, “Let’s not monkey this up.”

I would be completely unsurprised if he won the MLK Jr. award for registering a whole lot of rural white folks.

It’s certainly been National Fame Week for entitled white douchebags of all ages, hasn’t it? Not to mention a busy time for their apologists, one of whom is probably writing up a comment for this thread at this very moment.

Haaaaaaaave you met Don?
(edit rather than making a new post)
“Coming soon to Fox! The new hit series, ‘How I Fucked Your Country’ It will follow Don, as he meanders through a tale that will take him nine years to tell, a shit ton of unresolved side-plots – “Covfefe!” – and in the final episode Don will reveal that ‘it’s all because you elected me!’ We aren’t even worried about telling you that in advance. We know you’ll watch it all the way to the end since it is such a shitshow! WE DARE YOU TO LOOK AWAY!”

Normally I try not to judge people based on Halloween costumes because the whole point is to go a bit crazy and have fun in ways that aren’t always 100% acceptable in your daily life, but this one is just too much. Even if it he somehow didn’t realize it was racist, it is such bad judgement that I wouldn’t want him representing anybody.

If they weren’t always looking down on other people, they might actually have to look at themselves?

Don’t underestimate the bubble people live in. They just have no clue. They work very hard to prevent the corrupting influences of society from reaching their children.

Even if racism somehow poofed out of existence magically you’d still have a guy making fun of his own fellow citizens dying horribly in a natural disaster. So… yeah fuck him.
