Candidate Says City in Michigan Should Be Kept White 'As Much as Possible'

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/24/us/marysville-jean-cramer.html

Five people vying for three seats on the Marysville City Council in Michigan gathered for a candidates’ forum at City Hall on Thursday to discuss issues facing their community.

The moderator, Scott Shigley, asked whether the community should be more aggressive in trying to attract foreign-born residents, The Times Herald reported.

Jean Cramer, a candidate, went first and unabashedly shared her view: “Keep Marysville a white community as much as possible.”

Amid audible gasps from fellow candidates, Ms. Cramer followed up her statement. “Seriously,” she said. “In other words, no foreign-born. No foreign people.”

<more.

Trump normalized this shit.

It was creepy.

But, I'm from Phoenix and we're really diverse here.
