Florida GOP official tweets: Use ‘big fire hoses’ to knock those Ferguson ‘thugs’ over

A Republican official in Florida is facing calls to resign over messages she posted on Twitter about riots in Ferguson and police officer Darren Wilson.

“A suggestion for Ferguson- fire hoses. Grt big fire hoses, serious water pressure. Kn0ck those thugs over. They probly need a shower anyway [sic],” Duval County Republican Party secretary Kim Crenier tweeted on Monday night.

She also reportedly described Obama as “President Race-Baiter” while he was addressing the Ferguson decision, and tweeted from @JaxGOP: “Ferguson, MO. No true bill! May God bless and protect Officer Darren Wilson and his family. Facts are facts.” The profile is not an official Republican Party account.

After a grand jury declined to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of black teen Michael Brown, some angry protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, smashed shop windows and set businesses and cars ablaze. Crenier said she was just suggesting ways to control the unruly protesters.

“There’s no malice, I’m not a racist,” Crenier said.
