Colin Flaherty Commentary video "State rep-elect: “Tennessee is racist,” Republican voters “uneducated”
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A newly-elected state lawmaker from Memphis is facing criticism for controversial comments made in a now-deleted Facebook video.
Democrat London Lamar, who ran uncontested in House District 91, posted the video following last week's election.
"Tennessee's racist. Period. Period. Like, Tennessee is racist," Lamar said in the video.
She also said: "Most of the Tennesseeans who voted Republican are uneducated."
In another part of the video, she said: "White men voted Republican over -- well over 60 or 70 percent, so obviously that's a particular base of people who believe in superiority."
