“He’s a Cuban devoted democrat.”

This and a big time dimoKKKRAT at that. There is a saying that fits this perfectly and I cannot think of it.

OMG - it just doesn’t get much better than this Jerryspringerization of politics. He calls her a “lazy B” but considers himself defamed by the claim he told her to “go back from where you came”.

And she is called a “lazy B” but has to make up a story about being told “go back from where you came” because it is more sensational.

Well, she did have more than 10 items in her basket. Wish I could make some people cry like that in the fast checkout line meant for a few items. That Georgia woman tries to play the victim card, but she is plain trash.

Pretty sad when calling someone a “lazy bitch” is considered much nicer than saying “go back where you came from”.

The police report lists four witnesses, three of whom work at Publix. One of them, Derrick Tompkins, was asked by the AJC whether he heard Sparkes tell Thomas to “go back” to where she came from.

“I’m not going to say that wasn’t said, but I don’t remember hearing it,” said Tompkins, a 25-year-old cashier for the store. “I’m going to leave it at that.”

She probably doesn’t have much money. But if he sued the MSM outlets that parroted the story without simple checking, he probably wouldn’t have to work another day in his life.

What he was getting at was that calling someone a racial name is worse than a foul hostile fightin’ word.

Which I’m finding more and more absurd itself.
