Texas Agriculture Commissioner: Hillary Clinton’s a ‘C*nt’

Source: Daily Beast

Texas’ state agriculture commissioner is in hot water Tuesday after calling Hillary Clinton a “cunt” on Twitter. Citing an “Auto Alliance poll” showing Donald Trump beating his Democratic rival in Pennsylvania by one point, Sid Miller, a former state legislator, wrote, “TRUMP 44 Cunt 43,” punctuated with a cheering “Go Trump Go!” The tweet was later deleted. Shortly after nixing the tweet, Miller claimed his account had been breached: “@MillerForTexas HAS BEEN HACKED. The disgusting re-tweet has been removed and we have changed all account passwords. Be advised.”

Miller’s own office, however, later contradicted the commissioner, altogether abandoning the “hacked” defense with this statement: “The campaign was retweeting information today and inadvertently retweeted a tweet that they were not aware contained a derogatory term. The tweet was taken down as soon as possible. Commissioner Miller finds the term vulgar and offensive and apologizes to anyone who may have seen it.” The offending tweet, however, was not an actual retweet—and so, if this excuse is to be believed, Miller is essentially blaming a staffer who was copying-and-pasting from another Twitter user’s account.

Texas Tribune profiled Miller on Monday, calling him Trump’s “go-to” surrogate in the final stretch of the 2016 election. “We create yet another star,” Trump himself boasted Sunday of Miller’s frequent television appearances in support of his presidential run. “Sid Miller has become Donald Trump’s biggest cheerleader and champion in the state of Texas,” Miller’s spokesman said in the profile.

Q: WHAT IS A "JESUS SHOT?"

A: An anti-inflammatory injection that is supposed to reduce chronic pain. It is available only through its developer, Dr. John Michael Lonergan in Oklahoma, and reportedly costs $300.

___

Q: WHO IS LONERGAN?

A: In 2004, Lonergan was convicted in Ohio of eight felonies, including health care and mail fraud and tax evasion. His medical license was revoked by that state, and he was sentenced to two years in prison.

The people in the larger cities (like me in Houston) are working our hearts out trying to turn Texas blue - or at least purple.

It's very disheartening to have this sort of comment made about all of us.

Or is that just too much to ask?

I'm a fifth-generation Texan, and I have about as much in common with Sid Miller as I do an armadillo. Me and millions of other Texas Democrats have cast or will be casting our votes for Hillary. If Texas doesn't go blue this time around, it will happen in the near future; that's not wishful thinking, that's solid social, cultural and political trending. The era of shithooks like Sid Miller is, blessedly, coming to a close. For real. So get all that Texas (and Arizona) prejudice out of your system. You're welcome.

And the puke actually said:

“The campaign was retweeting information today and inadvertently retweeted a tweet that they were not aware contained a derogatory term. The tweet was taken down as soon as possible. Commissioner Miller finds the term vulgar and offensive and apologizes to anyone who may have seen it.”


Were not aware? Seriously? Amazing how these Republicans can tweet racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic and xenophobia shit all the time and they are not aware of it. Either they think we are complete idiots, or they employ the dregs of humanity.
