In Facebook exchange, John Merrill (AL SoS) tells man he should consider sex change

Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill had a insult-filled exchange through Facebook with a Huntsville man on Saturday, a back-and-forth Merrill ended by telling the man to consider a sex change operation.

Michael Richard, 51, started the exchange Friday night with a message to Merrill: “You’re an embarrassment to the state.”

Richard said he was referring to Merrill’s retweet that referred to “Black Lives Matter’s war on whites” and a second retweet that said “when patriots decide it’s time to fight back it’s gonna be ugly.” The retweets have drawn criticism, including a letter from a coalition of social justice groups saying they were racially insensitive and could promote violence.

“It just reeks of more bigotry in this state that’s been going on for years. It’s just more of the same,” Richard told AL.com on Saturday when asked why he called Merrill “an embarrassment.”

Merrill fired back at Richard’s “embarrassment” message by telling Rich: “You are a racist liberal.” Merrill said he does not know Richard.

The guy has an open facebook page which goes on with crap like this. I left him a message. What a shame if his FB page got viral with evil liberals.
