Free Republic

Erica Thomas is a member of the Georgia House of Representatives. Clearly, that's not where she wants her political career to end, however. Yesterday, she suddenly claimed on Twitter that a white guy had harassed her at a grocery store, and had even told her to "go back where you came from!" Obviously, this was meant to prove that President Trump's statements about The Squad are contagious. However, the accused man didn't take this lying down. When confronted by Rep. Thomas on camera he didn't take a step back and insisted that she wasn't telling the truth about their confrontation...

After three days of being called a racist, nazi, nazi sympathizer and klansman, and hearing the president called a racist, I am compelled to provide this compendium facts and opinions which explain what the f--- is happening.

Dec. 13 — Friday afternoon, Trent Lott, the incoming Senate majority leader, apologized yet again for an allegedly racist comment he made at the 100th birthday party of his colleague, Strom Thurmond. Many conservative pundits have discounted Lott’s apologies, arguing that he should step down to restore his party’s honor. They want to be tough and principled.

He tries to be nice even to extremists in his...
