A Furious Hattiesburg Councilwoman Demands Coroner Resign Over Racist Comments


On January 21, Forrest County Coroner Butch Benedict shared a Facebook post from FOX News in which headlined, "Freshman GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene files articles of impeachment against Biden." Benedict shared the post to his page by saying, "My question is, why didn't our representatives for the state of Mississippi do the same? Glad she is taking a stand!!"


Garrett Spiers then commented on Benedicts post by asking, "Who becomes president if he is impeached" in which the coroner wrote back an alarming response in which has angered the entire African American community, "Garrett Spiers must you ask? its' all monkey and footballs!" Forrest County Coroner Butch Benedict replies. Spiers then responded, "Butch Benedict Doesn't look good for us, the real backbone of the United States."



These racist comments has set off a fiery round of rejections of once supporters for the once beloved Benedict.




However, the validity of those rejections has come from one of the most powerful women in the City of Hattiesburg, Councilwoman Deborah Delgado. She has now demanded he resign. "He should resign!" the Councilwoman demanded.


"The spirit the country just ushered out of the White House cannot be allowed to continue to fertilize the undercurrent of racism and domestic terrorism that caused the storming of the US Capitol," Councilwoman Delgado passionately explained.


She is referring to Ex-president Donald Trump eviction from the White House by America in the 2020 presidential election, which in return led Trump to send violent criminals, which included some law enforcement, military, elected officials, and already FBI designated domestic terrorists, storming the US Capitol to try and overturn the democratic election in which 4 people were murdered by the insurrectionist.


Furiously, the councilwoman proclaimed, "No matter what is said about love of country and patriotism, the fruit is bigotry. An elected official having the gall to refer to our Vice President as a monkey should not be allowed to hold office, especially when Black votes helped to get him there!"
