The father of a North Dakota man who marched in a white-nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, this past weekend has denounced his son's behavior, saying he "is not welcome at our family gatherings any longer."

"I, along with all of his siblings and his entire family, wish to loudly repudiate my son's vile, hateful, and racist rhetoric and actions," Pearce Tefft, the father of Peter Tefft, wrote in a letter to the Fargo newspaper The Forum. "We do not know specifically where he learned these beliefs. He did not learn them at home."

Another reason not to be on Facebook.

I like how the family publicly disowns him because they’re getting harassed.

I bet they do it out of love.

I don’t think they’ll have to worry, they’ll be dead by the time he gets out of prison.

I doubt that the prison would allow him home visits anyway.

I don’t see the blacks repudiating the “Black Lives Matter” violence and threats. Quite the contrary, in fact.

Guess we know who the REAL racists are.

The forces of multiculturalism wish to obliterate their past so that they can reform them into something else in the future.

in most cases something dead.

it’s not today that they’re obliterating the culture of *North Dakota* but eventually that too will come.

and at that time maybe, if the family still alive, they’ll remember the way their son stood up, just a little tiny bit.

and they did not.

But if the guy was a homo/tranny/kid lover they’d welcome him/her/ it with open arms.

The father is demonstrating how he taught his son to hate other people. Well done, dad.

His family must be planning family reunions 99 years in advance.

Prison? I don’t think marching at a white nationalist/racist /Nazi/whatever rally is a crime

Hey Dad, it’s the uber Liberal MSM that puts the label of “Alt-right” on some of the participants in the rally.

What is “alt-right”? Exactly WHO does that term apply to and WHO does it not?

I know hundreds of conservatives but I don’t know one that supports Nazi’s or is a racist.

Why don’t you try talking to your son about his beliefs before you bad mouth him on national media?

Based on what I know now, I have a very low opinion of YOU.

The rally was conceived of and organized by the KKK.
Maybe his dad has some bias against that.

My kids may do things in the future that would disappoint me, but I would never disown them. Never.

dis·own

verb

refuse to acknowledge or maintain any connection with.
"Howard's rich family had disowned him because of his marriage"

synonyms: reject, cast off/aside, abandon, renounce, deny;


From the story: "The father of a North Dakota man who marched in a white-nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, this past weekend has denounced his son's behavior, saying he 'is not welcome at our family gatherings any longer.'"
...seems pretty obvious to me...
