Texas mayor resigns after telling freezing residents to stop complaining about cold snap

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The mayor of a small west Texas town has resigned after lashing out at constituents who have been paralyzed by this week's devastating cold snap.

Colorado City Manager David Hoover told NBC News that Mayor Tim Boyd stepped down on Tuesday, but the administrator declined further comment.

In a widely-circulated Facebook post that has outraged many, Boyd told town residents to stop complaining about the cold weather that has left millions across Texas stranded without power.

"No one owes you or your family anything; nor is it the local government's responsibility to support you during trying times like this! Sink or swim, it’s your choice!" Boyd wrote in the post on his Facebook page, which was later copied on the Mitchell County Issues community forum.

3. They will vote him in as the next governor,... then he will run for US President.

Just imagine how he would have handled the Puerto Rico hurricane mess. He would have made trDump look as altruistic as Robinhood.

8. He is not even smart enough to spout some caring platitudes during an emergency, like George W. did.

When you are dumber than George W., you are really in trouble.
