Jim Bonner is running in next week’s GOP primaries in Alabama for a spot on the state Public Service Commission.
There is a poll out that shows he is sort of leading the incumbent, a fact which apparently worries the Alabama Republican Party enough to publicly censure him.
You see … Bonner is such a steaming pile of racism, misogyny and anti-Semitism that he makes Roy Moore look like a progressive.
State GOP chair Terry Lathan said the party's candidate committee had voted unanimously to censure Public Service Commission candidate Jim Bonner, who has twice served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention and bills himself as an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump.
Bonner, 65, is a former community college teacher from Phil Campbell whose Facebook page includes posts that could be offensive to women, blacks and Muslims.
Unanimously.
Of course, the Associated Press safe-for-work version of this story doesn’t do justice to the shit that Bonner has been flinging.
For that, turn to alreporter.com.
A closer look at at his posts revels a card reading, “My love 4 you burns like 6,000 jews,” donning a makeshift postage stamp of Hitler. His post reads, “Awwwww I got a Valentine!!!!”
And this:
In several posts, he likes the use of the N-word and jokes about African-Americans in derogatory posts, refers to a female as a fat stripper, then says, “I’m sorry everyone knows you’re not a stripper” and joins in negative comments about a woman’s vagina, which he calls, “[N]atures perfect design.” Referencing a Chinese restaurant’s menu he says, “The fried anus was the best I ever had.”
And there seems to be some worry that his piece of excrement might actually win.
And why is that, you ask?
Well, PSC candidates are not exactly household names. And there just happens to be two other prominent officials in Alabama with the same last name as the aforementioned Mr. Bonner. So he could slip through thanks to mistaken identity.
“It appears from the data that this PSC race is within the margin of error strictly because of name confusion. Bonner is competitive across the state despite the fact that he has spent no money on advertising or building his name ID,” added Buchanan. “Given what is expected to be a low turnout election, Bonner would be favored to win this race if it were held today.”
And that could make for a very interesting general election against Democrat Cara McClure, an African-American woman who is running unopposed.
