Minnesota State Senate Candidate Removes Racist Comments from His Twitter Feed

Posted by Andrea Nill, Think Progress at 3:04 PM on January 1, 2010.

But scrubbing is easier said than done these days.




Local bloggers are reporting that Minnesota State Senate candidate Mike Parry removed more than 43 racist and homophobic tweets from his Twitter feed after progressives began researching and responding to him. The Minnesota Independent highlights one of Parry’s scrubbed tweets, which was apparently directed at President Barack Obama:




The day after the New York Times published an editorial on the Matthew Shepard Act and a week after it was passed in the House, Parry posted a tweet stating “what’s with Dems and Pedophiles?” After winning the GOP’s endorsement this week, Parry aptly described himself as “pro-life, a Christian, a second amendment rights supporter, a hard worker and not politically correct.”

3. Of all time? My vote is Jesse Ventura
He is really a sick person. With the 9/11 conspiracy theories and the anti global warming agenda he is spreading lies and propaganda worldwide.
