'About to lose your job': Nebraska man faces backlash for truck with obscenely racist 'Trump 2020' s




‘About to lose your job’: Nebraska man faces backlash for truck with obscenely racist ‘Trump 2020’ sign

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/09/about-to-lose-your-job-nebraska-man-faces-backlash-for-truck-with-obscenely-racist-trump-2020-sign/


A Trump supporter is facing backlash online after his truck was allegedly spotted with a racist Trump 2020 campaign message.

A photo of the “Trump 2020” sign was posted by Twitter user Ravi Mahapatra. The sign included a racist phrase followed by “Trump 2020.”

After obtaining the truck’s license plate, social media users identified the owner as Austin J. Cordis. Raw Story was not able to independently confirm the driver’s identity.

Cordis’ Facebook page was inundated with negative comments.

“Why are you such a loser?” one commenter asked.

“Congrats, your racism made twitter,” another noted.

As offensive as that is, he is expressing the true feelings of many Republican. Trump may be digging through his desk drawer for another Medal of Freedom.

Not sure what he means by “look behind me” (there is a black man standing in line behind him). And the “oh sh*t. We gonna die.”

Then I find this post of Cordis holding his newly born child with tears streaming down his face. Obviously someone capable of love, so what happened to him to cause so much hate inside? That’s what I’d like to know.
