GOP condemns embattled Mississippi supervisor who won't resign after racists remarks

[TexasTowelie]

The Mississippi GOP issued a statement Wednesday condemning a republican supervisor who made racist remarks earlier this week disparaging Black people.

Lowndes County Supervisor Harry Sanders said Monday that because Black people were "taken care of" during slavery, they were now "dependent" on society. Sanders made the comment after voting against a motion to relocate a Confederate statue in front of the county courthouse. He doubled down on his comments Tuesday, saying, "Hell, it's what I think."

Mississippi Republican Party Chairman Lucien Smith issued a statement on the Sanders' comments Wednesday afternoon.

"The remarks made by Supervisor Sanders do not represent the platform or values of the Mississippi Republican Party and I condemn them," Smith said. "This is the time for our leaders to bring us together, not create division."

1. I Prefer Sanders To Smith Here, Sir

Sanders is at least honest.

When Smith said "The remarks made by Supervisor Sanders do not represent the platform or values of the Mississippi Republican Party..." his trousers ought to have burst into flame, and he certainly forfeited his hope of Heaven with that damnable lie. Sanders spoke out loud the entire thrust of Republican politics for the last half century, and there is no doubt Smith knows that is true, and shares the views Sanders stated.
