And we now have a racist in the White House and one heading the Justice Department.

An Ohio fire department has suspended one of its volunteer firefighters for a racist Facebook post suggesting hed prefer to save a dog in an emergency than a black person.
Tyler Roysdon, a volunteer for Franklin Township, wrote that if he had to choose between saving a dog or a black man from a burning building, the dog would get priority, because one dog is more important than a million n****rs.
Roysdon has since removed the post from his Facebook page, but a screenshot appears below.
Once township officials discovered the post, Roysdon was suspended indefinitely, according to local station WHIO-TV.

He's a registered Republican. Imagine that.
