A Tennessee Democrat newly elected to the House of Representatives has said the state is racist and most residents who voted Republican are uneducated.
WREG-TV reports London Lamar said the comments in a now-deleted Facebook video posted following last week’s election. Lamar, a black woman, ran uncontested in the state’s House District 91 and will take office in January.
The station reports some constituents found her comments troubling, and Lamar issued an apology Monday, saying “we want to make sure we don’t over-generalize groups of people.” But she says race did play a role in the election. She says many who voted Republican in this election based their votes “on racially-charged rhetoric” that’s coming from the White House.

It appears that “foot in mouth” disease is contagious, and can be spread by social media. It appears that President Trump started an epidemic. Eventually the cure will be found and someone will run for office without insulting anybody, discussing real issues and solutions to real problems, and by getting elected will put this epidemic of boorishness to rest.
This princess is %100 right. She should resign and move to a racial friendly State like Vermont. She would be welcomed by the WHITE Bernie Sanders and WHITE Pat Leahy. Why would this choir girl want to stay in such a racist deplorable State?
