Prominent Trump supporter in Oklahoma has wildly offensive Facebook page.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Unless you are from Oklahoma or are closely reading Donald Trump\u2019s campaign literature in that state, you have probably never heard of Carol Hefner. But let us tell you, you are really missing out. The lady is a charmer! Described as a campaign coordinator<\/a> and a co-chair of Trump’s state campaign<\/a>, Hefner just loves posting ignorant, vile things about Muslims, blacks and transgender people<\/strong>. Just the sort of person who will make America great again. <\/p>\n

Among her \u201cgreat\u201d ideas, per Talking Points Memo<\/a>, are the notions that Muslims have infiltrated the Obama administration; that Clinton aide Huma Abedin has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood through her brother; and that Muslims and blacks were responsible for slavery. She is especially offended at the wearing of burquas, loves to point out that blacks owned slaves, calls transgender people mentally ill, and has posted messages suggesting Muslims go back \u201cto the hell they came from.\u201d <\/p>\n

Come to think of it, that is pretty close to Trump\u2019s position on immigrants. He recently suggested that Syrian refugees should go back and fight for their country, something we\u2019re sure never occurred to them\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Due to Hefner\u2019s important positions in Hairball\u2019s campaign, he has to know her views and agree with them.  He is so popular with Republican voters, because those hateful positions typify the Republican Party overall.  This is just the 5th of five ridiculous Republican moments from last week alone.  Click trough for the other four.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
