BELLEVILLE, Ill. — It’s not yet 11 a.m., and Bob Romanik, sitting behind the microphone at his radio station in a rundown strip mall in the middle of America, already has said the “n-word” out loud — and on air — at least a dozen times.
Romanik is a surly 68-year-old former East St. Louis street cop. He hates Black Lives Matter and talks proudly about his Caucasian heritage to anyone who will listen. And do they listen. His controversy-courting radio program — he’s the self-styled “Grim Reaper of Radio” on KQQZ 1190 AM — reaches across this region, in and around Belleville, Ill.
The suburban community about 20 miles east of St. Louis drew attention in recent weeks because it was the hometown of James T. Hodgkinson, the out-of-work politically frustrated home inspector who up and left, drove a van to the Washington area, and then shot four people at a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria.

I'm sure large segments of the left are eating it up with a spoon.
I drive through Belleville and East St. Louis almost weekly and have done so for nearly 20+ years and conduct business, etc. I also have very conservative family in that area. This article is the first I’ve ever heard of this program. Must not be reaching all that many people.
Hold on, this shooter was a Bernie Sanders guy. How about an article on left-wing hate?
Endless meme from the left: Racists are everywhere.
I hope they don’t threaten his pension.
Still trying to find a way to pin the blame for the shooter’s liberal lunacy on someone other than themselves. The left is adverse to the concept of personal responsibility.
The Post conveniently omits the fact that Hodgkinson was a left-wing Bernie supporter.
BTW what happened to the time-honored tradition of referring to political assassins by their three names? Should be James Thomas Hodgkinson.
This is low and disgustingly desperate even for the Wapo. SHAME on these sick bastards.
The writer is trying to link the actions of the shooter Hodgkinson, a left wing Bernie Sanders supporter who had a hit list of Republicans, to the angry rantings of a right-wing talker?
TOTALLY FAKE NEWS!
Where was the Washington Compost when a certain senior Democrat senator, and former Ku Klux Klan Kleagle, used the “n-word” twice on a cable news program?
A small group of whites get bludgeoned by the old media while massive groups of BLM, NAACP, Nation of Islam, and Black Panthers Klans escape the same treatment and are free to attack whites and other non-Africans. This shows astonishing depths of self-deception. Even five minutes on a college campus will show that “racial politics” are not taboo in American culture, but practically mandatory. What is taboo is white identity politics. The double standard is so obvious and so indefensible it is not surprising whites often react with anger or bitterness.
When it comes to “dehumanization,” it is now mainstream to dismiss a person’s knowledge and accomplishments because he is a “f***ing white male.” Violence against whites is openly celebrated in films such as Get Out. Whites, and only whites, are forbidden to identify positively with their ancestry, culture, or heritage, and are told never to act in their group interests. In mainstream American culture, whites are already dehumanized in that unlike every other group, they have no positive existence as whites. Their race is nothing more than the means by which they can be identified so they can be attacked.
Sorry presshole, no sale.
The lunatic was a leftist Sanders supporter.
This is typical WaPo journalism.
Gun,
You asked: “Hold on, this shooter was a Bernie Sanders guy. How about an article on left-wing hate?”
The answer is that the shooter was actually a right-wing Trump supporter who created a well thought out and long term deception plan to make folks think he was “left-wing.” Once again the Washington compost has found the truth.
Please note that my comment is entirely sarcastic, but ‘truthful’ from the view of the left.
So, listening to a conservative radio show made a Bernie supporter shoot elected government officials?
Really?
“Romanik makes GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump seem like a model of good manners and decorum,” the paper wrote.
Curious why the paper wanted him investigated? Shades of CNN, "Free speech for me but not for thee?"
The Washington Post just made this guy famous. He's going to probably want to look in to streaming his radio show (if he doesn't already).
Some how this agenda driven clown writer is going in circles trying to tie Hodgkinson to being a Trump fan. Hodgkinson was a liberal.
The Washington Post is the most sleazy newspaper in the USA now. There is no credibility left. Bust up Bezos Amazon and tax it to death.
Articles like this make me think of anthropologists describing New Guinea head-hunters. They think they’re being objective but they can’t hide the disgust they feel toward their subjects.
