Mayor of Auburn, Calif. Resigns After Insinuating Trump Supporters Are KKK Members

During Monday’s live-streamed meeting of the Auburn, California city council, Mayor William Kirby announced his resignation due to the backlash he prompted when he posted a Tweet insinuating that many supporters of President Donald Trump are also members of the KKK.

I'm going to guess Doh! Mayor got a pointed lesson from the people of Auburn that Auburn is not Sacramento or Davis, let alone Berserkeley or SF.

I don't get it.  Why would a Democrat have to resign?

Auburn mayor Dr. Bill Kirby, who decided Monday to step down after making social media posts comparing supporters of President Donald Trump to the Ku Klux Klan, was killed Saturday morning in a plane crash near the Auburn Municipal Airport, officials confirmed.

Kirby, a urologist and Auburn city councilman since 2009, was the pilot of the plane that crashed shortly after 11 a.m. A passenger in the plane suffered minor injuries and was transported to a hospital, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

A Facebook post from Sacramento political consultant Jeff Raimundo carried a statement from the Kirby family confirming he was the victim. Photos provided by the Sheriff’s Office show flames in a field with scattered shrapnel near the airport.

Sad news! Sounds like he'd been significant in Auburn and Placer County for a long time. Hopefully the passenger with minor injuries will be able to shed some light on what happened.

... Kirby gained notoriety last week after social media posts criticizing Trump's response to the coronavirus pandemic and comparing the president's supporters to KKK members.

The post from April 5, referencing the CDC's recommendation to wear a face mask amid the coronavirus pandemic, read: 'Good news about Trump supporters is they already have masks'.

It appeared alongside the image of a Ku Klux Klan hood.

Kirby re-shared the post created by another person, and commented: 'True'. 

He commented to a Facebook user: 'I am calm. Just a realist. If Hitler and everyone who supported him was removed from the face of the earth in 1939 the world would be a much better place.

'The same is more true of trump and his supporters today.'   ...

This is the idiocy of the Democrat Party.
They will ALWAYS accuse you of doing exactly what they are doing.
The only Russian Collusion happened with Obama, not with Trump.



This reminds me of some noname Democrat Congressman years ago who claimed that the Confederate Army and the KKK were all Republicans.

You cannot make this kind of ignorance up. Democrats are either congenital liars, or they have no education in history at all.
