The Parade of Racist Republicans Continues
They should probably get a marching band dressed in hoods….This time it was Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose who sent an email with a racially inappropriate content-namely, the White House issuing a statement that there would be no Easter Egg hunt this year due to the Watermelon patch.

Williamson apologized for his remarks on Thursday, saying he would never have made them if he had known “the full harm and hurt to which they would give rise.” The Vatican implied that he would actually have to change his position to fit that of actual historical fact, not just apologize for saying it while continuing to hold onto those beliefs. The Pope then returned to his adherence to a book that has very little basis in fact.

He was hardly even near there as news reports can confirm. In fact, he was in his palace overlooking the city, playing a violin the whole time. See how quickly he will lie to manipulate you?
