Warren Hurst is a county commissioner from Sevier County, Tennessee. He’s also a homophobe who casually drops gay slurs at work. And he’s very, very sensitive.
Yesterday, Hurst exploded into anger at a public meeting over whether to become a gun sanctuary city.
Speaking with a toothpick hanging from his mouth, he raged: “It’s time we wake up people, it’s been time, it’s past time. We gotta queer runnin’ for president, if that ain’t about as ugly as you can get!”
“Look what we got runnin’ for president in the Democratic party,” the 77-year-old continued. “We can go over here to [Sevier County Sheriff] Hoss’s jail and get better people outta there than those runnin’ for democratic to be President of the United States.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Fireworks fly at Sevier County Commission meeting

While some people in the room applauded Hurst’s homophobic remarks, others were mortified. One woman stood up and said, “Excuse me. This is not professional. This is f*cked!”
After she stormed out of the meeting, Hurst went on to insist his remarks do not make him a bigot, even though they do.
“I’m not prejudice,” he bemoaned. “But, by golly, a white male in this country has very few rights and they’re gettin’ took more every day.”
When asked for comment by local media, Hurst said he stands by his words, including the gay slur, then added he has a right to his own opinion. He is also ignoring calls for his resignation.

Oh God please let Pete at least be Vice President so it’s the last thing this hateful shithead knows when it passes away.

For me, if I’m to continue my streak of voting Democrat, it’s Gabbard/Yang or nothing. Sorry, but the rest of them are insane.

Translation: The kind of “Rights” he means are the right to beat women without getting charged, raping a woman and not getting prosecuted, burning down back churches, firing people for being gay etc….
Because outside of those, white men have the same rights they always did.

It would not surprise me if that cracker was a child molester and a deacon in the baptist church.

Proud to be a “queer,” the word was exalted years ago, its meaning no longer carries the negative hatred of 50 years ago, but “bigot” is still a bigot.

Shocking that a pinhead in podunk Tennessee has assbackward, stupid, and bigoted opinions. I would have expected more from the progressive intellectual elites of the Volunteer State.

“I’m not prejudice,” he bemoaned. “But, by golly, a white male in this country has very few rights and they’re gettin’ took more every day.” This is what scares the white males that put Jim Crow, segregation, redlining, discriminatory laws, discriminatory practices, anti-abortion, and any other law, or statute into effect. They need to die out soon, and take their bigoted ideas with theme to the grave.
