While many Alabamians honored the life and legacy of John Lewis today, state Rep. Will Dismukes celebrated the founder of the KKK and boasted about it in his Facebook page.
Ft. Dixie, where state Rep. Will Dismukes spoke today, is owned by Butch & Pat Godwin who, according to the SPLC, have some interesting things to say about the Selma to Montgomery march.
And there’s more.
Again, this is where state Rep. Will Dismukes chose time speak (in Selma) on the same day Alabama remembered the late John Lewis.
According to the SPLC, Godwin has signed emails "Wizardess," refers to Selma as ""Zimbabwe on de Alabamy" and calls the 1965 march "The Mother of All Orgies." https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2005/alabama-wizardess-disputes-her-title
The Alabama Democratic Party has already called on Dismukes to resign for earlier stuff along the same lines. But the question now has to be will the @ALGOP let him stay in the party? https://www.al.com/news/2020/06/alabama-democrats-call-on-gop-lawmaker-to-resign-over-confederate-support.html
