Discussion: FL School Board Candidate Deletes Twitter After Calling Journo 'Racist C**t'

ā€œIā€™m going to take responsibility for the tweet. I personally didnā€™t send it. It was sent from my account by a person sitting next to me, but I take full responsibility. Itā€™s inappropriate,ā€ he said. ā€œI wasnā€™t raised that way. Iā€™m a standup individual. It has nothing to do with today.ā€

I see some form of this lame excuse all the time from people making idiotic posts on various social media platforms. On what planet do adults pass around, share or allow others the use of their personal cell phone? Tweens and teens and drunk college kids I get, a little I guess. But grown adults with jobs and families and responsibilities and reputations to cultivate and preserve? WTF?

ā€œListen, weā€™re all sinnersā€¦But since Iā€™m a misogynist white male Republican, I get endless do-overs so long as I invoke Jeebus.ā€

FIFY.

Lucky for him heā€™s not a 12-year-old black male with a toy pistol, or a pocketful of Skittles.

Sounds like a page from a Trump ā€œRecognizing Real Racistsā€ seminar. So Iā€™ll go out on a limb and guess he thinks Zimmerman is getting a raw deal.

Iā€™ve seen a lot of stuff posted on social media that clearly were posted by someone not the owner. Usually these thing say something like X (name of stealth posting person) is the coolest dude in the universe. Of course most of these people have been under 16 years of age. You know, students in the school, not people trying to run the place.

Letā€™s ask Anthony Weiner how well the ā€œsomeone else sent it from my accountā€ story works outā€¦

But heā€™s white, male, and endorsed by his countyā€™s GOP so, now that heā€™s playing the Jesus card, itā€™s all good.

Does being an idiot disqualify a person from overseeing education in Florida?

I choose to interpret this as a sign heā€™d let someone sitting next to him vote for him on school board matters, meaning he wouldnā€™t be the one doing the job.

The candidate said he apologized to Hostin on Twitter, but the ABC News commentator tweeted that was untrue.

No no Lee! It was the person sitting next to you that apologized. Stick with the original lie story!!!

We may all be sinners, but weā€™re not all stupid. Twitter should start requiring IQ tests for accounts.

Then theyā€™d only have like a hundred or so people using itā€¦and those people would still just be selling something.

But at least with Anthony Weiner, we got a great documentary, Weiner, out of the whole ordeal.
