    Cheers to The Guardian for doing what a lot of news outlets still won't do here.

    The Cherokee Guns’ owner, Doc Wacholz, has denied that the billboard on Route 64 outside Murphy is a deliberate provocation. “I’m not inciting any violence or being racist. It’s a statement. It’s an opinion,” he told the Asheville Citizen Times.

    However, he then made racist and incorrect statements about the four leftwing congresswomen of color.

    Cheers to The Guardian for doing what a lot of news outlets still won't do here.

    Fox news and Trump have been stewing a pot of hatred which is going to end up badly.
