According to the Atlantic Journal Constitution,
One of the highest elected officials in one of Georgias most diverse counties waded into controversial territory over the weekend when he wrote a Facebook post calling U.S. Rep. John Lewis a Civil Rights legend already locked in a war of words with president-elect Donald Trump a racist pig.
Here's the text of the deleted Facebook from an AJC screen grab of the now private account:
"John Lewis is a racist pig. There aint one political pundit that didnt say on November 9 that this would be Demonrats EXACT response to Trump winning. Like I heard Rush, I believe say, Demonrats DO NOT live in reality. They believe they were right and THE REAL VOTES were wrong. What a bunch of idiots."
