Clackamas County (Oregon) Commissioner refuses to resign over vile, racist social media posts
https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/clackamas-county-comissioner-mark-shull-racist-facebook-posts/283-57e03314-aa62-4bb0-917b-89d4f551053bOREGON CITY, Ore. — A newly elected Clackamas County commissioner is under fire for racist posts on social media. On Wednesday, the county's district attorney joined leaders in the Muslim community and others calling on Mark Shull to resign.
...
Shull indicated during a commission meeting on Thursday morning that he does not intend to resign: "I've heard and understand your concerns, I submitted a statement earlier in the week about the messages. My intention at this time to carry out work of the people of Clackamas County, thank you." .
..
What Waller saw were many Islamophobic statements by Shull, including:
"Islam is in total conflict with America, with the Constitution and with the Christian values upon which the USA was founded."
"When you interact with a Muslim, you're being deceived. Period. End of sentence."
Shull also took on immigrants, the LGBTQ community and the Black Lives Matter movement, writing in one post, "BLM is not about black lives mattering or any other life mattering. BLM is a pawn for the rise of neo Marxism."
Shull also spread conspiracy theories connected to the cause of devastating Oregon wildfires last year.
