Wow here in WV seems we are used to some racist statements by politicians, but the Republican mayor of the capitol city may have topped the lady in Clay County who called Michelle a gorilla.
I realize that Jones, who is a moderate republican maybe needed to say something mean and racist to remain relevant, since it’s the new normal. However this one maybe takes the cake!
Jones referred to Specter’s later comments made in 2009, when Specter told reporters he regretted his vote, and that he considered Sessions to be an “egalitarian.”
“Jeff Sessions is going to be Attorney General. And I would say to Senator Schumer and Senator Warren, and Senator uh, Bernie, the Jewish guy I want to drop on the Gaza Strip, Bernie Sanders, to say get over it, OK? Get over it,” Jones said.
When asked on Monday, Jones said he made the comment to point out Sanders’ critical views on Israel.
“My show is very pro-Israel, Bernie is not. [If] he wound up at Gaza, they would cut his head off.”

So he’s pro Israel but he wants to drop Bernie off on the Gaza Strip because “they would cut his head off” ???
Just saying, but I’m wondering if the big chemical spill a few years back had some psychological effect??
