The response that he got back from one State legislator,  Joe Mitchell, wasn&#8217;t what he expected;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mitchell responded an hour later, telling Maxwell: &#8220;Your folk never used all this sheit (sic) to protect my folk from your slave-holding, murdering, adulterous, baby-raping, incestuous, snaggle-toothed, backward-a**ed, inbreed (sic), imported criminal-minded kin folk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That\u2019s not the type of reply I expect to receive from a state legislator,&#8221; Maxwell replied on Feb. 11. &#8220;I\u2019m not a racist and I find your reply to be especially offensive considering the position you hold.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I think Maxwell&#8217;s response to Representative Mitchell was worded much better than anything Mitchell would have received from me if I had been in Mitchell&#8217;s place. I&#8217;ve been pleading with gun-rights folks to be decent and civilized in this discussion and to obey the laws as they&#8217;ve been written. Apparently, I&#8217;ve been talking to the wrong M-er F-ers. I wonder what made Mitchell think he could get away with such a racist line of bullshit &#8211; well, other than complete arrogance and disregard for the concerns of his constituents.<\/p>\n<p>I hope the voters reward Mitchell with a job search opportunity, but I doubt they will &#8211; and that&#8217;s what fuels his arrogance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A link sent to us by Daric tells the tale of voter, Eddie Maxwell, who sent &hellip; <a title=\"Alabama State Legislator&#8217;s email infuriates voters\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=34792\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Alabama State Legislator&#8217;s email infuriates voters<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34792\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
