It really helps (me) to read past the headlines. I was all fired up to blast the staffer for being stupid enough to tweet something like this knowing this race is under a micrscope until I read the article to find it was before he was hired. Not saying what he did was right but he did not represent the campaign then.
“I took social media for granted when I was younger and I am now facing the consequences,” he said. “I’m so sorry to all those I let down, especially Mayor Gillum and my team. What I tweeted as an immature student many years ago is not a reflection of the man I am today.”
Wow. A mature response; taking responsibilty, apologizing, not using an excuse like “I went to Yale”. But of couse, the right wingers have their scalp. Hope they’re happy. I guess it’s time to start digging up more past tweets.
Note to Bret, This is how one deals with “youthful indiscreations.”
Removal from office would be sufficient regarding trump.
Hey, boys will be boys, amirite? And I prefer cancer and heart disease to seal Trump’s fate…
They are happy - very happy.
“I took social media for granted when I was younger and I am now facing the consequences,” he said.
What does taking “social media for granted” mean? Why was he even commenting on Trump in 2012-2013?
He may have been commenting on Trump that far back due to Trump’s offensive Birtherism. Recall that Trump was vociferous even then about the state of the GOP opposition to Obama.
“Dumbfuckistan” is not fair, because some of them are not so dumb – they’re just complete assholes.
The viewers are to blame, not the poster. Nobody was offended until people started viewing the posts.
“Why was he even commenting on Trump in 2012-2013”
His (Drumkopf’s) racist jackassery was on full display even before he threw his hat in the GOP ring?
Nothing wrong in calling for that dirty criminal traitor’s execution. We executed the Rosenbergs didn’t we?
That should be the same fate for any and all of those right wing parasites if they colluded with Russia. Every single one of them.
And jail time. Lots and lots of jail time. A lifetime of jail time.
Big, beautiful jail time…
