Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA): Today’s “Puke Bag Racist” Award Winner

Clay succeeded in duping the voters in the Lafayette, Lake Charles and New Iberia areas into electing him as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives in November 2016.

FYI: Clay has a rather questionable past which includes the matters set forth below.

• Divorced three times and married four times
• After being elected to congress, Clay’s ex-wife Rosemary sued him for unpaid child support of more than $140,000
• Compared a woman choosing to have an abortion to The Holocaust
• Promoted himself and spoken at rallies by anti-government militia groups
• Appeared at event organized by Oath Keepers, a group identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a radical anti-government organization
• Has sold shirts at political rallies with logos identical to that of the Three Percenters, another anti-government militia group scattered across the country

In an ongoing effort to cement his status as one of Louisiana’s Premier Racists, Clay spewed forth the garbage via his Campaign Facebook account that was aimed at protesters that are protesting the killing of black men by the police.

• “One-way ticket fellas.”
• “Have your affairs in order. Me?... I wouldn’t even spill my beer.”
• “I’d drop any 10 of you where you stand.”

Clay’s campaign Facebook post was accompanied by a picture of Black men with guns. Subsequently, Facebook stated it took down Clay’s post for violating the company’s “violence and incitement” policies.” (Amanda Terkel)

Unfortunately, given the racial makeup of his congressional district, Clay the Bigot will likely be reelected to another term in Congress on November 3, 2020.
