Almost every week, Republicans join a competition to see who can say the most outlandish things, and in the process, they push the envelope on just how despicable InsaniTEA can become.  I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception.<\/font><\/p>\n

Hours after the Orlando shooting, Florida Assistant State Attorney Kenneth Lewis found it appropriate to post this on Facebook:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe entire city should be leveled. It is void of a single redeeming quality. It is a melting pot of 3rd world miscreants and ghetto thugs. It is void of culture. If you live down there you do it at your own risk and at your own peril. If you go down there after dark there is seriously something wrong with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was promptly suspended, apparently for violating the esteemed office\u2019s social media policy, not for being an incredibly insensitive, dumb a**hole.<\/p>\n

Notably, Lewis went to \u201csensitivity training\u201d after a deeply offensive post two years ago on Mother\u2019s Day, in which he suggested \u201ccrack hoes\u201d should get their \u201ctubes tied\u201d and other warm and fuzzy thoughts he termed \u201cinspirational.\u201d<\/p>\n

Might want to hire new sensitivity trainers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
