retired physical therapist Robbie Gatti,


How the hell is someone that young a "retired" physical therapist?

quote:

Gatti was with several members of First Baptist Church in Bossier City when the photo in blackface was taken. That’s the church at which he was an associate pastor until last year, but left amid a great deal of acrimony over Johnson’s election – he and his brother opposed Johnson while most of the parishioners disagreed, and things became so ugly that Gatti was asked to leave.


Another example of how the biggest threat to modern Christianity is actual "Christians"

Yep. First Baptist had their knives out for the Gatti's. Looks like that got the younger brother...though you rarely see it this easy.

Shows terrible judgment. And he is really running as a democrat in republican clothing so I only feel a little bad for the storm that is about to hit him

Gatti fires back:
quote:

I'm sad that my opponents have taken a good night at church and turned it into negative, political mud, but I'm confident the voters of Bossier will not fall for their desperate attacks," he said.

quote:

"Tiger Woods was at the height of his popularity, as a world champion, and that was who I was dressed as," he said. "Shortly after this event, I was ordained in this church. As a medical professional, ordained minister and military officer, I live my life seeing only character and I stand by that."

bold move

This is where I'm curious to see what happens. I believe he's a Maj. in the Guard.

edited to change from Col. to Maj.

His father was African-American,Chinese and Native American descent. His mother is Thai, Chinese and Dutch descent.

So technically Gatti wasn't completely blackface.

This is why I could never run for political office. I would be skewered for past transgressions
