Only black woman in Vermont statehouse quit after harassment by white nationalist -- who showed up to

‘troll’ her press conference

Morris did not get into detail about the harassment when she quit but, last week, held a press conference to discuss it.

“All of the accounts of what happened to me and my family over the years are enormous in scale and historically rooted in a legacy of white supremacy, misogyny and inequity,” Morris said at the press conference. “We did everything that we were told to do, reported everything, held nothing back and trusted in a system that, in the end, was insufficient and inept at addressing and repairing the harm done… we were told there was nothing to be done.”

Misch even showed up at the press conference, wearing a Pepe The Frog shirt and instigating a confrontation with the crowd.

This is outrageous... We had an MP murdered a couple of years ago by a right winger like this.... they should not be allowed to get away with it....

There's good and bad with that, I suppose. So, in my short experience here, this is par for the course.

I know that they are looking at this case more closely, but I have little faith that the system will enforce anything.

That ignorant rube should move to a racist southern shithole red state to feel more like home.
