The mayor of Auburn is facing backlash and calls for his removal from office following posts and comments he made last week on Facebook, which appeared to compare supporters of President Donald Trump to the Ku Klux Klan amid criticism of the president’s response to the coronavirus.
Dr. Bill Kirby, the mayor of Placer County’s seat and a urologist, announced Monday evening that he intends to hand over the mayoral duties to a fellow council member, Auburn Journal reported.
Kirby allegedly shared a reposted meme last Thursday from his personal Facebook account. The image depicted a hooded KKK member and included the text: “Good news for Trump supporters is that most of them already have masks,” a reference to an increasing number of state and federal guidelines recommending the general public wear face coverings to curb the spread of the coronavirus, which causes the deadly disease known as COVID-19.

Jerk. It's Bernie-bros (or whatever they were called) who were the mask wearers. Antifa anybody?
And The KKK was a creation of the demonicRAT Party.

Also, two doctors in FLA stole their neighbor’s Trump flag.
It’s an epidemic of DBB. Docs Behaving Badly.

I might be wrong, but I would've thought that Auburn, California would be in one of the conservative areas of California (i.e., not on the coast).
Its a nice area though (climate-wise), so maybe some Bay Area refugees have moved into the area - thus downgrading the neighborhood.

He does need to retire. Job is too big for him. Slip sliding away.

You would think a Doctor would be a little brighter.
Anyway ‘the left can’t meme’.

Being a medical doctor today differs greatly from years ago.

The Dem's demonization of the KKK is odd due to the evidence that the KKK was a arm of the DNC for over a 125 years.
They even had Senator (Dem) Robert Byrd as the Grand Poo Paw of the KKK. And the DNC worships Byrd.

Auburn is in a Conservative area of NorCal. Or what we call The State of Jefferson. But it’s basically a suburb of Sacramento. Auburn, Rocklin, Folsom, Roseville, Loomis are all bedroom communities of Sacramento. Mini Sacs. Government is the number one industry.

The doctor’s specialty is urine?

There are very little Conservative areas in CA.
To: rintintin
What is with the childish fixation of democrat government people who are/were doctors with the KKK? Remember guvnah’ Northam?
