    Clay Higgins Defends Tweet He Deleted After Being Confronted by Republican Colleagues: ‘It’s All True’ - www.mediaite.c...
    "Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) defended his controversial social media post about Haitians after deleting it on Wednesday, claiming his remarks were “all true” and that he could “put up another controversial post tomorrow.”
    Higgins received backlash on Wednesday after he wrote, “Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu [sic], nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters… but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP. All these thugs better get their mind right and their ass out of our country before January 20th.”
    Higgins deleted his post after he was confronted by Republican colleagues and threatened with a censure resolution by Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV)."

    @NeilDonald-y5h Місяць тому +5

    Taking down a post means only that he regretted the consequences, not that he was admitting he was wrong or apologizing. Johnson's defence and excuse making demonstrates a lack of Christian integrity. Biblically speaking, he should rebuke Higgins. The post was also despicable in that it contained a not so veiled threat, and could easily incite idiots like Higgins to harass, threaten, or harm the Haitians in Springfield. Like Trump and Vance, Haitians should be seeking to have him charged.
