One NCGA Rep has a message for you who are upset over the budget.

NC 110 Rep. Kelly Hastings thinks you should shut up, suck it up and quit whining.



Screenshot link above ^^^

Here's the post:

"On my way home from Raleigh today, I stopped to help an African American family who had a serious wreck. Two of the kids were seriously injured. I was one of the first on the scene and immediately told another man not to move the injured family; they probably had neck injuries. Next, we calmed the children down and made sure they weren’t bleeding out too much. We gathered some of their belongings to make them feel comfortable. As soon as I got home, some people were complaining because they did not get exactly what they wanted in the state budget. After seeing this injured family, I would like to ask those of you who are whining to quit whining on my page. Thank God you have a job and suck it up and drive on. When you start to whine, think about what our military men and women are going through, and think about people in the private sector who are losing their jobs and their homes."

I bet she's lying and there was no wreck. She's a public servant . It's her job to listen to her constituents.

"See, we like black people!" I doubt this story is true, but if so, all the best to the family in the accident.

Amazing Kelly points out those losing their jobs and homes in the PRIVATE sector.

Yep, sociopathic POS.
