Our writer from yesteryear, Shaun King, dropped a bombshell post on Twitter just a short while ago.
That comment has been pulled down. This is a screen shot of Brian Crump’s (running for Sheriff of Union County, North Carolina) Facebook commentary from about two years ago. Here’s a screenshot of the pulled down comment.
On the dartboard of racism that is a bullseye. Indyweek got Brian on the phone and he had this to say:
"It's the good-old-boy network here in Union County that doesn't want to see me as sheriff," Crump said. "That's who's behind this. The good old boys at the old house in [Union County seat] Monroe hacked my account. Think about it, if you were running for public office would you dare put something that controversial on social media?"
It was mentioned to him that the post was from two years ago.
"Yeah, but I already knew I was running even then," Crump said. "It's been known for years I was planning on running. I'm not even up at 1:57 a.m."
It definitely seems like it’s a “good-old-boy” network there in Union County.
