He was on CNN decrying "white nationalists who are racist, homophobic and misogynistic." Looks like he speaks from experience... LINK

But he's black; therefore, he can't be racist. And it's ok for him to be a hypocrite.

Some cities call this position "Mayor Pro- Tempore", which is the person delegated to carry out the Mayors duties if the Mayor is unavailable for any reason.

What does he do the other 330+ days a year? Tweet stupid crap?

Dude's probably getting paid an outrageous salary too.

If he were conservative CNN would be all over him. What a shame we find ourselves to be in this place.

Instead, CNN has him on as a "spokesperson."

Not much nuance there.

If you go on CNN and display your hypocrisy and hatred...you deserve to be called on it...regardless of political stances. Try again.

I will have to say, many of those tweets go back to 2009 when he was 22 years old. I thank God I didn't have Twitter in college.

Fair point...but many folks who will defend him were the same ones saying that Mitt Romney was evil because of things that he did in college.

In case the lugenpresse tries to delete that page.

If the left has an honest bone in their body this vice mayor will be fired Monday morning.

true, although the dog on the roof was probably more dividing overall. Likewise that was a story he intentionally shared with everyone for whatever reason, much like these tweets.

I voted Obama but didn't think Romney was evil... he just was never upfront with his mythical tax loopholes he was going to close. Plus he only promised 6% UE after 4 years.
