Tennessee Team R Gov. Bill Lee Trying to Honor Ex-Grand Wizard of the KKK

[Eff Pandas]

Can't make this sh^t up. Sounds like some parody type sh^t from a Spike Lee movie this mofo so stupid & out of touch.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed a proclamation declaring Saturday "Nathan Bedford Forrest Day," in honor of the Confederate Army general who was a slave trader and an early member of the Ku Klux Klan.

Under Tennessee law, governors are required to proclaim six dates as "days of special observance" including July 13 as "Nathan Bedford Forrest Day"; June 3 as "Memorial Day" or "Confederate Decoration Day"; and January 19 as "Robert E. Lee Day."

Even Ted Cruz like "this mfer crazy".

"This is WRONG," Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted. "Nathan Bedford Forrest was a Confederate general & a delegate to the 1868 Democratic Convention. He was also a slave trader & the 1st Grand Wizard of the KKK."

It would be bipartisan if there were two sides that agreed with it.


Seems to me it's just one loon.

Some won't admit that. According to some, the Republican party of the past is the same one we see today...

...unless you bring up the republicans of the past that were pushing for reparations for slavery. Then they're like, "That aint our party."

Jhonny will leave a chihuahua turd on his tomb to honor him.
