Tennessee Commissioner Refuses To Apologize For Anti-Muslim Picture On Facebook
Tennessee Commissioner Refuses To Apologize For Anti-Muslim Picture On Facebook
A Tennessee County Commissioner doesn’t see anything wrong with a Facebook post he put up that led to Muslims feeling threatened.
The photo was posted to Coffee County commissioner Barry West‘s Facebook page, drawing consternation from Muslim groups who came across the image. In the photo, seen at the right, a double-barreled shotgun is pointed at the viewer with the caption “HOW TO WINK AT A MUSLIM.” The image soon went viral, causing West to take down the original post from his page.

Another one to boot out of office.
