Democrat blasts Florida GOP official over 'cruel' Facebook posts
Brevard Democratic Chair Stacey Patel told the Orlando Sentinel that conduct from county commissioner Bryan Lober (R) on Facebook was "unacceptable" after Lober reportedly wrote it would be acceptable for Patel to get an abortion because her "litter" of children would supposedly not be raised with a work ethic.
Bryan Lober (R):
“I’m not typically a big abortion proponent but in Patel’s case, I might look the other way as I can only imagine what a scourge of humanity (and on our economy) her offspring would prove to be given that her litter would likely be raised with an entitlement mentality, zero work ethic and taught the hypocritically racist and sexist position that the white man is evil,” Lober wrote, according to the Sentinel.
Patel responded, telling the Sentinel: “It is entirely inappropriate to dehumanize one’s political adversary. To refer to my potential children as a ‘litter” and a ‘scourge on humanity’ is truly beyond the pale.”
In other comments highlighted by the newspaper on a public Brevard County Facebook group, the county commissioner appeared to join in with other Republicans in joking about running over left-leaning protesters. “I wouldn’t recommend using a snow plow. It might look intentional," Lober joked after another person wrote “If you hit one back up and go again. (just kidding)."
