The mayor of a Northern California city said this week that he'll step down after posting social media messages comparing supporters of President Trump to members of the Ku Klux Klan, a report said.

Angry residents in Auburn, about 33 miles northeast of Sacramento, confronted Mayor William Kirby during a city council meeting conducted by video because of coronavirus concerns, FOX 40 of Sacramento reported.

Kirby appeared remorseful as he addressed the council and residents, the report said.

The quarantine is driving people nuts.

[Rj Snows]

Corona hasn’t changed him

[hal ogen]

He is only “remorseful” because he got caught and people reacted to his distorted thinking. What an idiot.

Corona is causing them to reveal what was there all along.

"Kirby appeared remorseful as he addressed the council and residents, the report said."

Only because he got caught revealing his true political bias's...

Quite a few people are at any one time close to outward mental illness. A little stress moves toward outward mental illness. It is unfortunate that the LIBs closed so many mental hospitals over the past decades. I guess they were fearful that they would be involuntarily committed. Now they roam the streets...and vote.

Democrat Party Convention where the Proud Democrats are ALL wearing their Facemasks and PPE!!!

Read the article, this guy wasn’t that fsr6 out of alignment with a typical liberal. The big question to ask is, HTF did he get elected mayor of a conservative town?

"Kirby blamed Trump for his frustration, explaining that as a doctor he now puts his life on the line because of a lack of proper gear and testing capabilities."

Typical leftist delusion. A doctor in private practice, 2500 miles away from Washington DC blames the president because he himself failed to obtain proper equipment to do his own job safely. It's amazing he had enough intelligence to obtain his MD.

Never drink and text.

never drink and text -Words to live by

Democrats were nuts before the quarantine.

“Kirby blamed Trump for his frustration, explaining that as a doctor he now puts his life on the line because of a lack of proper gear and testing capabilities”

This must be what caused 2 married Florida gynecologists to drive to a neighbor’s home with their 2 chdren, rip down a flagpole with a Trump flag, destroy both, & get charged with criminal mischief, destruction of property, & contributing to the delinquency if minors.

Auburn is not what you might expect of California.

Mostly "Deplorable clingers" (proud to be one). Home of the State of Jefferson.

Just FYI

True enough ... TDS don’t go ‘round here.

“Never drink and text”

Glad you didn’t say never drink and post to FR.

In the case of this mayor, he didn't have to even get out of the driveway.

[SMARTY]

She’s angling for a ‘cabinet spot’... AS IF he’s gonna get into the WH!!

Sheeeesh.
