Jesse Lee Peterson blames women voting without "male supervsion" for Chicago's new mayor...

A guy who used to clean toilets, declared himself a "minister," and has a radio program where he says slavery was good for blacks, women should never have got the vote, and racism never existed.

BTW, Peterson is black.

Jesse Lee Peterson Blames the
Election of a Lesbian Mayor on Letting Women Vote Without Male Oversight
By Kyle Mantyla | April 4, 2019 10:28 am

Right-wing commentator Jesse Lee Peterson reacted to the news that a lesbian had been elected as mayor of Chicago by blaming what he views as an unfortunate outcome on the fact that women are being allowed to vote without men instructing them how to do so properly.

Peterson, who has long insisted that “one of the greatest mistakes that America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote,” complained on his radio program yesterday that elected offices are being filled with gays and Muslims “because of the women’s vote.”

Why not let someone else, someone who actually believes in good governance for all citizens, take a crack at things?

Maybe they'd better find out if he has an underground bunker with a few captives.

of a man trying to cover up his own inadequacies. How clearly he reveals himself...struggling to keep others down in order to prop himself up.
