Virginia mayor urged to resign after saying Biden picked 'Aunt Jemima as his VP'

[RandySF]

A Virginia mayor is facing calls for his resignation over a Facebook post in which he said that Joe Biden "just announced Aunt Jemima" as his running mate.

Luray Mayor Barry Presgraves posted the comment last weekend on his Facebook page. The comment was condemned by members of the Luray Town Council and other residents before he took it down that same weekend.

Luray is a town of less than 5,000 people, the majority of them white, according to the most recent census data. Four percent of the population is Black. The town is about 90 miles west of Washington, D.C.

Biden named California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate on Tuesday.

1. Unbelievable. That such overt racism still afflicts this nation.

3. Many Trump supporters are morons

I have a dumb cousin who has been posting anti-Kamala lies on Facebook the past few days and I was happy to see one of his friends calling him a moron today . I clicked "like" on the moron comment - besides coming down hard on his ignorance. Some of his friends were threatening to block him if he keeps it up. It was good to see so many calling him out. The one who called him a moron admitted to voting for Trump and said it was the big mistake of his life because of the way Trump was not handling Covid 19.
