Lion Heart 15,041 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida’s top elections official abruptly resigned Thursday after a newspaper obtained pictures of him in blackface dressed as a Hurricane Katrina victim at a 2005 party. Secretary of State Michael Ertel (R), who had been on the job less than three weeks, resigned just hours after he testified about election lawsuits before a state legislative committee. The Tallahassee Democrat obtained pictures taken at a Halloween party 14 years ago that show Ertel dressed in blackface while wearing earrings, a New Orleans Saints bandanna and fake breasts under a purple T-shirt with “Katrina Victim” written on it. The photos were taken two months after the deadly storm ravaged the Gulf Coast region and eight months after Ertel was appointed Seminole County supervisor of elections. The newspaper hasn’t said how it got the photos or identified the source. Ertel was the Seminole elections supervisor until new Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) picked him last month to take over the department that oversees elections. https://apnews.com/c494f07aaaef4a55bb4dddb17474ae8e?utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown 444 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Why do people like being racist so much? Why are they so nonchalant about doing horrid acts such as blackface? Disgusting. Trash. So starry eyed on the flowery hillside, breathless and fervid amid the dandelions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
