Mattis supports Statehood for Palestine.

Because West is an exemplary Christian. He's a small minded shit stain who can go choke on a turd.

He's probably more dangerous than Trump with his social media presence.

Well who posted it then? Someone with admin rights, apparently.
"Message to our followers: Hello everyone. This is Michele Hickford, Editor-in-Chief of allenbwest.com. On Friday night, without Allen Wests knowledge or consent, a meme was posted to this Facebook page which was reprehensible in its message.
As editor in chief, I must take full responsibility for this, although I was not the one who posted it, and it was posted without my knowledge. I neither condone nor support the message included in the meme.
This meme was not created by me or any of our writers. It was reposted from another source.
The image has been removed. Its message was despicable, offensive to many, and a terrible error in judgement by the person who posted it. Furthermore, it does not reflect Col. West's beliefs, principles and values.
I (Michele Hickford) am deeply sorry for the distress this has caused so many people."
