The clerks remembered him? Since when do retail clerks remember specific black people from 20 years ago. Lots of people cant even distinguish the black people they see every day.

Apparently it's from a message board associated that he made some pretty bad comments that are disqualifying for being a decent human let alone a governor. And it isn't really that much kink-shaming from CNN it doesn't look like. Just reporting on some good old fashioned hate. https://www.cnn.com/2...

I bought hash infused joints today. I’m looking forward to trying them. Had a glorious semester-into-Summer in college when the big man on campus was getting some excellent hash from Canada.

As I saw someone else say....would Rich Lowry give you the benefit of the doubt?

DaveInSeattle

Look at that...Rich Lowry, editor of National Review and the guy who saw "starbursts" during the Sarah Palin/Biden debate back in 2008, and the recent writer of the nonsensical "Trump can win on Character" op-ed in the New York Times, just casually dropping the N-Word on the Megy...
