GOP official calls Biden's Pentagon chief a 'stinking' N-word ,and calls for a good public lynching

[634-5789]

According to a report from WAVY, the chairman of the Virginia Hampton GOP has called for the ousting of the electoral board chair over an ugly tirade on Facebook where he used a racial slur to describe Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and retired Gen. Russell Honoré -- both of whom are Black.

In his tirade, Dietrich wrote, "The situation with the United States military is getting more disgusting and dangerous by the day."

After listing off the names of the two Black military men, he added, "These so-called 'leaders' are so vile and racist, there's no way to describe them other than in terms their own people understand. They are nothing more than dirty, stinking n*ggers."

1. I worked for Lloyd Austin in the Army

He is one of the finest, kindest, most capable people I have ever known. I am so proud that he is the Secretary of Defense.

57. I didn't work for him, but I did support him for about 12 hours once...

...He was headed to the Middle East and stopped in Rota, Spain where I was stationed. He was delayed due to weather in AFG. There is a VIP room set up in the Air Terminal there, but there was no connectivity of any sort. So given my job at the time, while I was still Active Duty, we had to set up the VIP room with NIPR/SIPR drops for him and his staff. I remember his Comms person (Kayla? She was an Army Captain.), she was really, really cool and bought me and the three Sailors working with me lunch. He spent time thanking each of us, asking us about our lives, and just seemed genuinely interested in hearing what we had to say. And of course, he gave each of us a coin. Pretty dope.

[pandr32]

2. Accountability right f*cking now please

[tblue37]

68. And he refuses to resign.

[MerryHolidays]

3. These people are insane...

For the sake of this country, I hope whatever Rs who still have good will left (and I still think there are many) try to stop this kind of behavior.

If not, I wonder what's left of this country.

[CrackityJones75]

61. Bwahahahaha

Did you hear what Mitch McConnell said the other day? There is nothing a republican could do to sway him from supporting them. That is how that party rolls.

[Walleye]

4. I hate to think what he has called Judge Jackson

[LenaBaby61]

9. you can IMAGINE ....

[sop]

5. The Virginia GOP can get rid of Dietrich, but his racist views remain deeply ingrained in the party.

[PJMcK]

74. Absolutely right

I had to drive through Virginia last week. As I crossed from Maryland into Virginia, there was a huge Confederate flag flying on the side of the road. The symbol of sedition and racism. They don't even try to hide their hatred.

These are the traitors that attacked the Capitol.

[TheRealNorth]

6. And the MSM tells us we should feel bad for calling them "deplorable"....

I could think of a few other choice words to describe this racist Republican asshole.

[thomski64]

71. Secratary Clinton was off..

.. on her basket estimate. its each official that holds,
these racist views, each voter, any of those who don't
overtly express these views, but remain silent. So 98.3%

[dalton99a]

7. What this GOP official said:

[TheRealNorth]

17. Sounds like a traitor to me.

[tishaLA]

39. In addition to everything else....

Honoré sounds like a black nationalist? What?

[whopis01]

58. If a black person says anything other than

yessuh and nosuh, I am sure this guy considers them a black nationalist.

[ZonkerHarris]

48. GOP wants to fight the civil war again. They are getting hard over the thought. It is their fantasy

[struggle4progress]

52. While some people might support lynching Mr Dietrich, I suspect most would be content

if he would just resign and go away

We'll even allow him a little excuse on the way out. Maybe his GOP friends could help him find the right words, like

I meant to say that the best way to pull us back from the brink is a good snort of coke and an orgy

or

I was just trying to warn folk about how all those space lasers are causing forest fires

[spanone]

60. republicons are proud of their racism.

fucking fucks.

[intheflow]

62. The mental gymnastics here is astonishing.

Complaining people are vile and racist in one sentence and then actually supporting this stance by being vile and racist is peak doublespeak.

[lonely bird]

63. Hey!

At least he admitted conservatives are racists and white nationalists.

Every once in awhile these asshats step on their dicks and accidentally exposes the truth about themselves.

[calimary]

78. Absolutely disgusting!

[sarcasmo]

8. This is who they are, racist to the core.

[gratuitous]

10. If David Dietrich wasn't saying what his organization believes is true

They'd cashier him in a minute. Reading his vile tirade, I'm inclined to ask about Mr. Dietrich's military service, and won't be terribly surprised if the answer is "none."

[Caliman73]

11. The "logic" of a racist...

This guy essentially said, "That person is so racist, I am going to call them the most well known and egregious slur out there to let you know how racist THEY are"

This person is so stupid, so utterly devoid of decency, that they actually think that Generals Austin and Honoré believe that Black people are Superior to White people and are capable of using the levers of power to discriminate against White people in some large scale way. Because that is what "racist" means in the context of the wielding of political power.

I do not know what is in the Generals' minds. The only way we can approximate that knowledge is to observe their behaviors and words.

I am assuming that this "statement" was made over recent testimony about working to make the military more culturally competent and the inclusion of diversity training in the curriculum of the military academies, that got the idiot Matt Gaetz so worked up.

[oldsoftie]

38. I would bet that whats in the Generals minds is to do the best job possible for the COUNTRY.

Just as everyone in the military should think.

[Aviation Pro]

12. We need an Aldo Raine solution here

Maybe Hugo Stiglitz.

Yes, I’m kidding.

[634-5789]

30. I personally liked Hugo...just sayin'

[jmowreader]

31. Not Hugo

Staff Sergeant Donny Donowitz would be better.

[634-5789]

40. Damnit, I liked him too.

From the movie:

[Aviation Pro]

55. The Bear?

Yep, he'd go yard.

[EndlessWire]

13. My head hurts from this.

We need to win the midterms so bad. We need to rally forth and make sure that we hold the power. If the GOP gets anything on us, they will kill us.

I also thank G-d for my mother, who came from the South and made a deliberate decision to raise me nonracist. I can see that being a racist is such a burden. I really think that their brain wiring is so fucked up that they don't even know how bad they sound.

I am concerned about the reference to a "Civil War." This, and over, what? Because they don't like the color of someone's skin? Or, race?

I blame Donald Trump and his Russian handlers for most of this, although each adult is responsible for themselves. I am totally astonished by the conduct of the GOP, a truly fascist party that has revealed itself to be AntiAmerican, AntiDemocratic, and a real threat to our Democracy.

Why is FaceBook (excuse me, Meta) tolerating that racial slur? Ban this asshole.

I apologize to anyone who read the slur and was offended. Remember, we now have the first Black, female Supreme Court judge in history. There is nothing that the supreme asshole can do about it. Rejoice! We are going to move forward.

[Whatthe_Firetruck]

36. I'm assuming that 'spades'...

Was some kind of freudian slip or dog whistle. He was thinking of the term with regards to these men, and used it in the other context when he issued his threat (instead of all the other ways that could have been phrased).

[whopis01]

59. I had the same thought. n/t

[Samrob]

14. Envious men and women behave like this. Nothing new. nt

[doc03]

15. I never knew General Honore was black. It's like

whenever there is a mess to straighten out they send in Gerneral Honore.

[sciencescience]

16. Yikes, what a terrible person. I see his Facebook post got two likes too, goes to show what others

in his group think.

[bahboo]

18. he made the mistake....

of saying this vile shit out loud....

[hlthe2b]

22. I've had the privilege of meeting with Honore' several times in past years... i have nothing but

intense admiration for both of these men.

This is painful. It just feels like the factions of hate are taking over (or damned well trying) throughout the world.

[reACTIONary]

54. +100 nt

[2naSalit]

23. We-e-e-ell

That needs fixing right away.

[Warpy]

24. I'm sure it sounds better in the original Russian.

[mountain grammy]

25. So the state GOP called for his suspension

This time. We’ll see if they do it.

[SergeStorms]

26. This is Trump's GOP.

They'll applaud this at the May CPAC conference in Hungary, when republicans will be stuffing their pockets with foreign autocrat's cash.

Trump will probably give him the "presidential" Medal of Racist Merit (a bottle cap from Busch Beer with a used rubber dangling from it).

Yep, this is Trump's GOP. You have much to be proud of, Donald.

[70sEraVet]

28. Proof just how bad this 'purge' is needed.

The Republican party NEEDS to remove these modern-day klansmen.

[Celerity]

34. The leadership of the Rethug Party often IS modern day kkk

[TeamProg]

32. In this day and age. I thought we'd evolved beyond this. How disgusting.

The guy needs to BE FIRED PRONTO !!

[Celerity]

33. Empty G, BoBo, Nazi Maddy, Gosar, etc all are SOOOOO jelly

they SOOOOOO wanna drop the N word 50 times a day

[childfreebychoice]

35. This is the amerikkkans reality for many of us living while black. This is why I care not about remo

Confed flags or statues. My dad had a saying, he preferred his racism straight up no chaser. The only thing that is new is t* giving racists carte blanche to come out into the light, sans sheets.

[Botany]

41. Dietrich just said "the quite part" out loud

It is how just about all of them think. Yesterday's walk out should be proof enough along with Blackburn flashing a white power sign.

[C Moon]

42. Apology coming in 3-2-1. Then all will be forgotten.

[BradAllison]

45. There will be no apology

Those are so 2015.

Mission accomplished: they got the message out to their base....

Cokie's Law - about politics and media coverage...

Cokie's Law states that it does not matter if it is true or not. It's out there.

Cokie Roberts journalist, author, reporter

Then they can apologize in a much smaller forum. (If they do)

[peppertree]

43. The Republican version of the Kinsley gaffe

Because every now and then, they have to tell us how they really feel.

[barbtries]

44. they show who they are

over and over and over. maddening that they have power in this country.

[Steve Canuck]

46. Remind me.

Wasn't lynching voted to be categorized as a hate crime not too long ago?

[shrike3]

47. A relative of mine threw away a military pension and benefits

Because he would not respect or recognize the authority of senior officers of color.

He was lucky all they did was encourage him to resign.

Ironically, he's all about mistreated veterans now. AND a holier than thou type.

No surprise we have little to do with him.

[Jack the Greater]

49. He called them that?

Well, no Christmas card for this guy. In fact he is on my official shit-list. My God, they are parading around in figurative Klan robes.

50. Official refuses to resign

BY JASON LEMON ON 4/8/22 AT 3:31 PM EDT

... Dietrich said in the post that Austin's efforts to root out white nationalists in the military was actually a ploy "to remove conservative, freedom-loving Americans from the roles" ...

"If it is a civil war they want, they will get it in spades," he wrote. "Perhaps the best way to pull us back from the brink is a good public lynching" ...

56. And the GQP will embrace him...

Open right wing racism is fine now.

[GB_RN]

64. What A POS.

He should be linked to Moscow Mitch "The Bitch" McConnell (Q-Yertle The Turtle), and Qevin McQarthy (Q-Spineless Jellyfish), et al., at every available opportunity.

This, in part, is what I mean by changing our messaging. Stop playing nice and bringing dinner knives and forks to what is now, no longer a dinner party: The other side changed the rules to make it a gun fight decades ago.

[Scottie Mom]

65. Holy shit! EOM

[BobTheSubgenius]

66. What is this man doing in the adminstration of state GOP?

I can't believe they aren't grooming him to run for elected office.

67. Jesus... That's right up the road from me, too...

69. What "situation" with the military?

70. Can republicans go any lower??? Don't answer. I know.

72. not surprised

by this republikkkan in the least. The complete Party minus 3 or four and the base feel the same as this jackass and his leader...trump

[Evolve Dammit]

73. Orange One rekindled this insanity. He and deplorables like Bannon encourage it.

[The Jungle 1]

75. I don't think the path of peaceful response to racism is working!

Philly ran white supremacist out of town and they have not come back. They marched in one of the safest areas of Philly! They ran away from counter protests!
