Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) resigned from a Christian hunger organization after the group expressed disappointment in the congressman for his “non-apology” to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) amid reports earlier this week that he had called her a sexist slur.
Wow, they sound like actual Christians.
Good on them.
“We believe that Rep. Ted Yoho’s recent actions and words as reported in the media are not reflective of the ethical standards expected of members of our Board of Directors.,” the self-described “bipartisan Christian organization” wrote in a statement Saturday.
NYT: “What a norm buster !!!”
I’m sipping on a delicious, cool glass of schadenfreude at the moment:
““We believe that Rep. Ted Yoho’s recent actions and words as reported in the media are not reflective of the ethical standards expected of members of our Board of Directors.,” the self-described “bipartisan Christian organization” wrote in a statement Saturday”
Stepped in it full shoe eh Ted ?
Honestly, when I first saw this headline I assumed it was a rightwing evangelical Christian organization demanding his resignation for even offering a “non-apology” to AOC.
How in God’s name did he get on the group’s board in the first place?
Scuttling Yoho’s attempt to secure a no-bid contract that would change the name of the organization from “Bread for the World” to “Ivanka Trump Open-toe Sandals for the World”.
# Christian Organization Sought Yoho’s Resignation…
Gratifying, at least.
Kinda reminiscent of the employment difficulties of neo-Nazis, white supremacists and their ilk when their identifying details are publicized after this or that noxious scene.
Twould be good if these ultra-extremists recognized these individuals’ misfortunes as a public backlash against acting out their beliefs.
Their fear of retribution would be an adequate stand in for shame. (ed.)
Someone who deserves to fall in front of a speeding Amtrak train: Ted Yoho.
Someone who should be mourned:
Peter Green, guitarist extraordinaire of Fleetwood Mac fame. R.I.P (1946-2020)
Why would any republican who’s serving in Congress these days be on a board of an organization like this? Why not put McConnell on, for dog’s sake?
Good grief.
Totally OT–
My local public school district made it official yesterday: remote learning only for the first month, probably longer.
Damn.
Good. My daughter in CA says her county is still “at risk” and will do the same thing until the situation changes.
School board meeting Monday night to decide our fate.
Yeah, I know. And this December will be the 40th anniversary of the death of John Lennon.
Makes me hate a POS like Trump even more, since he doesn’t even deserve to breathe.
If you still back Trump you have no standards, ethical or other wise.
Every schoolteacher in America should post a picture of an empty school desk, stating that it is reserved for Barron Trump to come and sit in if they are forced to open classrooms. Otherwise, fuck you, Donnie.
Yoho, like Trump, isn’t a “real” Christian, he’s a “fake” Christian.
Too many people in this country are too stupid to live. So they die.
Since May, at least seven people have died and dozens have been hospitalized in Arizona and New Mexico after ingesting hand sanitizer containing methanol, according to state health officials. At least some of the cases were related to alcoholism, officials have said. Though hand sanitizer should not be consumed, some people have been drawn to its high alcohol content.
The FDA also advises Americans to be wary of products that claim to be “FDA-approved,” as none exist, or say they provide protection for “up to 24 hours.”
