How many times have we all written these kinds of words "you can't make this #hit up"? Too many.
Next up in that category is his nominee to be the US ambassador to Norway.
From the Washington Post this morning
"President Trump’s nominee to be ambassador to Norway is facing demands that he abandon his pursuit of the diplomatic post following the unearthing of a 1994 court filing indicating his involvement in the production of a racist campaign flier against an African American politician in Georgia."
"According to the filing, Mark Burkhalter helped create the a flier that distorted and exaggerated the features of Gordon Joyner, a candidate for county commissioner in north-central Georgia. Joyner was pictured with some features darkened, a large Afro, enlarged eyebrows and a warped eye."
"Joyner sued for libel, resulting in an out-of-court settlement, an apology signed by Burkhalter and three other men, and payment of an undisclosed sum."
To be clear Burkhalter also failed to reveal his part to the committee. Senator Menendez has a powerful letter requesting the nomination be withdrawn by the bigot in chief dt.
"What have you got to lose?" Our reputation in the world, our dignity, our moral standing, our health and all too many of our lives.
