Thugs declaring “white power” disrupt Iowa legislators’ online forum

DES MOINES – Thugs declaring “white power,” the “N-word” and other hateful exultations disrupted a recent online forum being held by Iowa legislators.

Iowa Rep.Marti Anderson
According to Iowa Rep. Marti Anderson, “On Saturday I held a Zoom Legislative Forum with State Reps. Ako Abdul-Samad and Jo Oldson, and Senator Janet Petersen. We wanted to hear from and take questions from constituents. The virtual meeting was abruptly interrupted 5X with racial and sexist slurs and declarations of “white power.” The hackers never showed their faces. We shut them out and stopped letting people in. I am disgusted by the language used to hurt us and the hate.”
According to Black Iowa News, the online forum turned nasty when unknown thugs signed on and began to spew racist hate.
“N-word, N-word. You (expletive deleted) N-word. You (expletive deleted) N-word,” a troll said on the call. “N-word. I hate N-words,” the troll said. “Kill all the N-words. White power. White power. Kill all the N-words.”

White guys declaring their racist philosophy. Lots of comments – mostly from other white guys showing their support for white guys declaring their racism.

I’ll never forget the day I found that unmarked USB stick containing armydog.mov outside the city mosque. I still have nightmares about it 7 years later but better me as a grown man than some innocent Islamic child

I’m sure that makes perfect sense in your mind, but WTH are you talking about?

Free speech. Calling the hackers “thugs” is also name calling. But just because you don’t like what they are saying, you call it hate speech. Isn’t being called a thug an example of hate speech?

We do have free speech in this country. You can’t, however, use it to disrupt someone else’s meeting, or use it to disrespect someone’s ethnicity.

You have a right to protest anything you want, and you don’t need Liberals permission.

Nobody was doing any protesting here. It was a couple of low-life trumpies who wanted to show everyone how cool they were. Same old sh*t.

Truth is, Trump would be first in line to throw the idiots in jail.

Democrats are going to call you an “insurrectionist” today and a “racist” tomorrow and some other B.S. After that, so who cares what they say?

If you aren’t attempting to overthrow the government you aren’t an insurrectionist. If you’re not a racist you shouldn’t have to bitch piss and moan about it because it wouldn’t apply to you. Hmmmmm…

Dissent is patriotic. Or did that end when it became inconvenient?

Oh, now dissent is patriotic? That wasn’t what you called it last summer. You didn’t call it patriotic when players knelt during football games. You didn’t call it patriotic when people disagreed with trump.

I told my brother brother JOEY to stay off the computer without a cue card because he’s senile and compromised.
