If Moose was on TV saying nothing, that meant that somebody else was not on TV saying something. He may have intended to prevent precisely that.
People resign all the time BUT, under the circumstances, I'd say it was a forced resignation. He was a token for that area to start with and was sworn in with true "color blind" pomp and circumstance.
I wonder how many law suits have been filed because of Moose and his "lousey" leadership. He is what he is...a racist.
