State Attorney's Office in Orange County, FL needs a clean up on aisle 5.

Press conference today on prosecutor's 'crack hoes' Facebook controversy

Veteran prosecutor Ken Lewis has come under fire for a series of Facebook posts, including a Mother's Day post that he addressed to "all the crack hoes out there."

"Happy Mothers day to all the crack hoes out there," the post said. "It' never too late to turn it around, tie your tubes, clean up your life and make difference to someone out there that deserves a better mother."

Ashton and Lewis are expected to speak and answer questions at a 3:30 p.m. press conference at the State Attorney's Office in Orlando. This is a developing story. Check back later for updates.

Lewis' Facebook posts have gone viral, including his comments on affirmative action, free speech and Donald Sterling, the embattled owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. Among his other recent posts:

Why isn't he telling guys to stop patronizing crack hoes, tie up THEIR tubes (or at least keep them covered until after marriage), and clean up THEIR lives?

Apparently they believe women are parthenogenic and control every step of the process. It's why bigots think women can't get pregnant if it's "really" rape.

They would rather glibly prescribe major surgery for women instead of 5 minutes under local anesthetic for men.

And thanks for pointing that out. Rock on!

Sending a facebook post to "all the crack hoes" out there is a gratuitous insult. That is not the same thing at all. You need to resign.
