CHARLOTTESVILLE MAYOR’S SOCIAL MEDIA POST REMOVED BY FACEBOOK:

A controversial post on Charlottesville Mayor Nikuyah Walker’s Facebook account is causing a stir.

The post was removed by Facebook for violating community standards. However, Walker went to Twitter to show in a tweet what she had posted.

That’s quite an…interesting take on civic pride by Mayor Walker:


UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Flashback: Charlottesville report tells us what happens when the police fail to do their job. “When militia groups are doing the job of the police, that’s a bad sign.”

Advice to Charlottesville, and America: Don’t elect leaders who hate you.

UPDATE (From Ed): Mayor of Charlottesville tweets bizarre message about city ‘raping’ its residents.

She slammed gentrification, “white power,” and how the city has a “daily practice” of “separating you from your soul.” Though she leads the town as mayor, she says the town has no moral compass. Walker intoned images of enslavement, saying that “It’s as if good ole tj [Thomas Jefferson?] is still cleverly using his whip to whip the current inhabitants into submissiveness.”

“Charlottesville,” Walker said, “is anchored in white supremacy and rooted in racism.” She reiterates her earlier missive, leaving some of the more salacious words out of it.

As of February, Walker was under investigation for her credit card spending. She revealed on Facebook Live that a memo had been sent by Acting City Attorney Lisa Robertson which accused Walker of misusing city funds.

Is today’s meltdown “stray voltage” to get that scandal off the radar, or just another day for the mayor?
