Continued thread

#House Speaker #MikeJohnson, also a #Louisiana #Republican, told reporters #ClayHiggins was approached by colleagues who told him the post was “offensive.” Johnson said he then spoke to Higgins about it, after which Higgins “prayed about it & he regretted it & he pulled the post down.”

“That’s what you want the gentleman to do,” Johnson said. [I want him not to do it in the first place & he’s definitely NOT a gentleman]

#Republican Rep #ClayHiggins (LA) published #racist comments about #Haitians on Wednesday — only to delete them after being confronted by #House colleagues.

In a post on social media Higgins called Haitians “thugs,” called #Haiti the “nastiest country in the western hemisphere,” & repeated false & dehumanizing claims about pet-eating.
