TN school board member under fire after posting Biden rape joke online
https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2023/feb/15/hamilton-county-school-board-member-rape-facebook-post-tfp/Hamilton County school board member Rhonda Thurman, R-Hixson, has come under fire after posting a gang rape joke on her Facebook page.
The post relates to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address, which occurred just days after Biden ordered the military to shoot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon. During his speech, Biden promised to protect America against Chinese threats to its sovereignty and singled out President Xi Jinping.
"Joe Biden saying he showed China how tuff he is, reminds of a joke I heard years ago," Thurman wrote.
Thurman went on to share a joke about a man and a woman walking on the beach when the woman was raped by a gang as the man concerned himself with other matters.
Thurman then went on to refer to a story Biden has told about standing up to a gang member named Corn Pop when he was a young man.
"Yep, that is Tough Man Joe!" Thurman wrote in her Feb. 7 posting. "Obviously, Xi Jinping never heard about Corn Pop or he would never have sent that balloon over here."
