[QUOTE]BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A GOP candidate for North Dakota’s U.S. Senate seat acknowledged Thursday he deleted more than 100 social media posts after entering the race, including one that called anti-Israel protesters “a bunch of Arabs.” Gary Emineth, 59, also retweeted an image calling for “no more mosques in America” and shared a Facebook post that compared people on food stamps to animals, CNN reported. The network posted frame-grabs of Emineth’s posts. Emineth told The Associated Press he doesn’t apologize for them. He said some of the posts were “sarcastic” and were done by him as a “frustrated American citizen.” A post referring to President Obama as a “POS” was a typo, Emineth said, and was meant to be “POTUS,” which stands for the President of the United States. Emineth defends referring to the former president in posts as a “socialist, because he is.” He began deleting the posts after announcing he would run on Jan. 31, figuring “some people would get wound up over them.” Emineth, a businessman and former North Dakota GOP chairman, is one of two Republicans hoping to face Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp in November. Republican state Sen. Tom Campbell is the other. “I just wanted to focus on Heidi Heitkamp and the race,” Emineth said. “This is all about the left trying to create controversy.” Emineth said he might repost them because they might help him win in North Dakota, where President Donald Trump carried the state by 36 points in 2016 and remains popular. “It would probably be to my advantage to keep them up,” he said. “I’ll probably offend a number of other people before I’m done, too.” State Sen. Kelly Armstrong, who heads the North Dakota GOP, said he didn’t know if the Emineth’s posts “help him or hurt him.” “Obviously, to varying degrees, they are bad and he shouldn’t have done them,” Armstrong said.

"A post referring to President Obama as a “POS” was a typo, Emineth said, and was meant to be “POTUS,” " lmao yea okay
You know Clair Mcaskill probably will get re-elected simply because the GOP has reached peak stupidity, her prime challenger did something exactly like, and this certainly helps heitkamp
[QUOTE]“I just wanted to focus on Heidi Heitkamp and the race,” Emineth said. “This is all about the left trying to create controversy.”[/QUOTE] Kinda weird it's somehow the left trying to create controversy and not your controversial social media messages creating the controversy.
Yeah this guy is a total POS, but there is plenty of people here that would support him if he put them back up like he said. It's really sad, honestly.
[QUOTE=Alice3173;53118725]Kinda weird it's somehow the left trying to create controversy and not your controversial social media messages creating the controversy.[/QUOTE] What is even the left in America?
A man who tries to run from his own words is not a man worth listening to.
[quote]He began deleting the posts after announcing he would run on Jan. 31, figuring “some people would get wound up over them.”[/quote] Oh, I'm sure you're just thinking about those sensitive people and their feelings now, and not trying to hide your actual beliefs that social media makes accessible for the world to see.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;53118845]What is even the left in America?[/QUOTE] It seems to be anything left of the GOP according to how the GOP acts so actual leftists, centrists, and even some conservatives would seem to fall under that category.
[QUOTE=IKTM;53118852]A man who tries to run from his own words is not a man worth listening to.[/QUOTE] Nor is a man who stands by the words this candidate wrote. Lose-lose situation.
This guy is a cunt Edit: sorry, was supposed to say 'candidate for President'
[quote]A post referring to President Obama as a “POS” was a typo, Emineth said, and was meant to be “POTUS,”[/quote] Fucking children come up less flimsy excuses, fuck you.
how long until "GOP politician running for election currently stabbing children, still polling better than a democrat"
[QUOTE=ThatSwordGuy;53120428]how long until "GOP politician running for election currently stabbing children, still polling better than a democrat"[/QUOTE] Punching a journalist for asking questions and asking teenagers' mothers first before dating them when you're twice their age are both rubicons the Republican party already crossed. I'm holding out for "Senator _____ caught strangling an illegal immigrant woman who stepped on his shadow, arrested and charged with attempted murder, White House declined to comment." and the Fox News chiron blames Democrats for sending the woman near known anger-issues guy to bait him into scandal.
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;53120021]Nor is a man who stands by the words this candidate wrote. Lose-lose situation.[/QUOTE] He could always own up and admit he was wrong. ...Wait, what the fuck am I saying? A republican would never do that.
