Illinois GOP expels Trump delegate for racist Facebook post

[bullwinkle428]

Kicked out of the convention!

A Trump delegate has had her credentials revoked by the Illinois Republican Party for posting racist remarks on Facebook encouraging police officers to shoot black people—though she phrased it slightly less delicately.


The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Lori Gayne of the Fifth Congressional District posted the incendiary message which Talking Points Memo says was under the handle “whitepride.” Via the Chicago Sun-Times:


The Republican National Convention welcome party was thrown Sunday at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Gayne wrote, over a photo of law enforcement officials on the roof on the iconic building on the Lake Erie shore:

“Our brave snipers just waiting for some “N—- to try something. Love them.”

She used an abbreviation for the racial slur.

But wait - it gets better! The "apology" is absolutely priceless!

Gayne offered her “deepest apologies” in a statement, saying, “I strongly regret the offensive statements I recently made on social media. While I in no way intended to make racist or threatening statements, I now realize that they could be interpreted that way.

1. Interpreted?

She literally used the most pejorative term she could. There is no interpretation needed.
