This disgusting monster is the face of modern racism. Scott Walker & the rest of the WISGOP? Looking the other way.

Mayor Says His Facebook Post Calling Obama A Muslim Who 'Destroyed Democracy' Is Just Free Speech


Superior, Wisconsin Mayor Bruce Hagen posted a photo of First Lady Michelle Obama to his Facebook page, calling President Barack Obama a Muslim, and claiming he has destroyed democracy. Hagen did not offer any proof.

"Unbelievable!," Hagen's post, which is now hidden from public view, reads, according to WDIO/Eyewitness News. "She and her Muslim partner have destroyed the fabric of democracy that was so very hard fought for!"

The mayor refuses to retract the statement. WDIO reports Hagen "said he stands by the statement and said it was an expression of free speech."

Five members of the Superior City Council disagree, and are publicly asking Hagen to remove the post.

1. He's mistaken!

Slander isn't covered under free speech, by making the statement that the President of the United States is a member of a terrorist organization, he is committing slander!

I'm just guessing, of course...

Any professional legal minds want to help me out here?

2. let's see how outraged the MSM or some people will feel about this. I wonder if they will

feel the same outrage they expressed when they were so offended when Hillary said that Trump's racist anti-Muslim rants could motivate some toward an ISIS path.

I won't hold my breath.

4. Yes he is but this is main stream in the Republican party.

I just read where 54% of Trump supporters and 43% of all Republicans think Obama is a Muslin.

Or to vote.
