A county commissioner in Tennessee launched a tirade against the Democratic presidential field and the general state of white men in America on Monday during a debate about guns.
Warren Hurst, who sits on the Sevier County Commission, spoke up during a discussion on an upcoming vote to become a gun sanctuary city. He told the crowd, many of whom were holding little American flags, that it was time to wake up people.
We got a queer running for president if that aint about as ugly as you can get, he said, in comments captured by Knoxville-based station WVLT. Look what we got running for president in the Democratic Party. We can go over here to Hoss jail [the Sevier County sheriff] and get better people out of there than those running for [the] Democratic [nomination] to be president of the United States.

(43,049 posts)for all the good stuff, we have to give white men the blame for the bad stuff.
So, I suggest we give others a shot. Even if a few of them fuck some things up, it's no worse than what we have done.
