A member of the board of commissioners in Gwinnett County, Georgia–the second most populous county in the state–called civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) a “racist pig” in a Facebook post Saturday after Lewis said he didn't consider President-elect Donald Trump to be a "legitimate" president.

In posts unearthed by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Tommy Hunter, a Republican county commissioner, also referred to Lewis’ party as “Demonrats” and “a bunch of idiots.”

“John Lewis is a racist pig,” one post begins. “There ain’t political pundit that didn’t say on November 9 that this would be Demonrats’ EXACT response to Trump winning.”

On Friday, Lewis said he did not consider Trump a “legitimate” president, and that he would not attend the presidential inauguration. He justified his decision by saying that a Russian “conspiracy” had damaged Hillary Clinton’s candidacy and helped Trump’s.

11. Tommy Hunter, vp of company getting $$$ from public contracts

Tommy Hunter is a Vice President of Business Development at United Consulting, of Norcross, GA

I guess it is useful to have a county commissioner on your payroll.

company brags about major contract with City of Atlanta on its website

Sickening that public money supports such viciousness and ignorance.

Hunter is a well-paid, educated Trump supporter who choose to believe Trump instead of 17 security agencies. What are the chances such a voter can or will respond positively to facts, or logic?

You can leave a message on their website, but of course it is important to be polite.

Tommy Hunter online bio shows he was Gwinnett county employee before scoring his VP position with United Consulting.

18. Two Questions

1. By what percentage did Clinton take the city of Atlanta by?

2. Based on answer to question 1, why does this guys company still have a "blanking" contract with the city of Atlanta?
