During today’s press conference to address the Joe McKnight shooting investigation, MSNBC was forced to cut away and apologize after Louisiana sheriff Newell Normand read out loud some of the hateful comments he and other leaders have received in the past week.
It’s not fair for him to be called, ‘You punk-ass Uncle Tom coon, we saw you sell out to them, you ratass faggot punk,’” “That’s the tone of what we call our elected leaders for standing up and simply saying let justice prevail and let the process take its course.”
Here is the uncut extended version that includes Sheriff Newell reading more mean tweets calling a lawmaker a “nigga” and a “self-serving son of a bitch.”.
This seems pretty thin-skinned for someone heading a sheriff’s department.
