Charleston, WV mayor makes controversial comment about Sanders

Source: WSAZ



CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A mayor in our region is facing harsh criticism after he made a controversial comment on his morning talk show.

Charleston Mayor Danny Jones was talking about the confirmation hearing of Jeff Sessions, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney General.

"Jeff Sessions is going to be Attorney General, and I would say to Senator Schumer and Senator Warren ... and Senator, uh, Bernie, the Jewish guy, I want to drop on the Gaza Strip, Bernie Sanders, to get over it," Jones said on 580 WCHS Monday.

Mike Pushkin, the only Jewish member of the West Virginia Legislature, did not take the comment lightly.

""I'm going to officially retract, recant the use of the 'J' word to describe his ethnicity which is what I was actually referring to or his religion, and I will never use that word again on this show and that way there shouldn't be any problem," Jones said on the show."

here lets remind him:

https://wvwatercrisis.com/

"Seven-thousand gallons of a toxic chemical called MCHM leaked into the Elk River in West Virginia river on January 9, 1½ miles upstream from a water treatment facility. The Elk River supplies the city of Charleston with water.Dec 17, 2014"


And has he read the news lately about the sexual predator and his nominee's and then to have him besmirch people that are trying to help even his state out, reminds me of what serial sadists the fascists republicans really are.
