Maine State Rep. Charlotte Warren (D) is facing backlash and calls for her resignation after posting a comment on Facebook that specifically tore into “straight white men.”
Wednesday protesters gathered outside City Hall in Hallowell, Warren’s district, voicing outrage over what they said was a “racist” and “sexist” Facebook post that also appeared on the Maine State Senate Facebook page.
“After 20 years in politics, I’ve arrived at the following conclusion,” Warren began on July 1 in the since-deleted post, as reported by the Maine Journal News:
Straight white men are too emotional to be in politics.
Consider this a call to action to all my queers and gal pals!
Dear white men who are feeling the need to complain about my comments: Check your priviledge (sic), your emotions, and be prepared for your comments to be deleted. Because, ‘Merica, free speech, and all that jazz.”

“When you straight out call out a straight white man that’s identity politics,” said protest organizer Chris Clarke. “Not only is that racist because you’re making it about a white male, but it’s also bigotry.”
“[N]obody gets to say anything about a black person, gay person, or Arab or whatever,” said Rebecca Rochelle. “I think it’s totally wrong, and she doesn’t have a place in politics.”
According to the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine, public officials are prohibited from selectively deleting negative comments and blocking certain users from their social media account.
Clarke said he and other members of the community are calling upon Warren to step down.
“You need to resign today,” he said. “We are here to let the community of Hallowell know that everybody’s voice matters, not just one person.”
Organizers created a petition to have Warren removed from her legislative committees.

Guilty! But seriously, I’m a straight, white male, and it appears to me that we are the least emotional bloc of voters in the country.

I just looked outside the window and saw a couple pigs flying.

Not her. It’s at the link on her name
She looks like a gay white man.
Not that there’s ....
From Maine Legislative Watch Dogs FB:
“Dear @Repesentative Charlotte Warren, we see you have taken down your hateful post aimed at the White community in your attempt to disenfranchise White people from political engagement. No worries, my dear; we all took screen shots. I also see we can no longer tag you. Also, not to fret, we will go the traditional route; mailers to all of your constituents with those screen shots proudly displayed.”
Awesome.
In time her kind will go the way of hula-hoops, pet rocks and carnival freak shows.
Certainly the most stoic within ranks of elected officials, too. This is worthy of an "Exhibit A" tag among examples of leftist projection.
ROFL
Must have been Hillary on her broom =)
🤮🤮🤮🤮
She is what would happen if the blond-haired crazy actor Gary Busey in “Silver Bullet” married Drew Carey and they had a son.
That’s a man. A mentally man, but it’s a man.
As Austin Powers would say, “That’s a man, baby!”
What a piece of ..never mind.
I think she needed a straight man in her life. She must be very unhappy. If I had her face, I would be too.
Although I guess I’m ugly-shaming.
I guess I’d better shut up now. If this is inappropriate please delete.
I just don’t understand the hatred for straight white men, who carry most of the load in this country, via taxes, shifting rules about whether or not to hold the door open for women, deciphering mixed signals with women about if they actually have consent to sex or not; if the woman plays with him and then decides that she didn’t consent, there’s h**l to pay.
I am sure that some male FReepers can provide other examples.
LOL! And Jerry Seinfeld would say that that particular episode couldn’t be made today.
One more thing.
What is wrong with people, particularly elected officials, who post every stupid thought they have on FB?
I never go to FB and I have nothing to lose. Or hide.
If my dog Scout looked like that thing I'd shave his ass and teach him to walk backwards.
