Police union chief with ties to Trump makes racist and misogynist comments about Democratic leaders

jokes about accepting sexual favors for officers

The director of a police union in Massachusetts with ties to the Trump administration posted several misogynist and racist comments about Democratic leaders on his personal social media account, such as referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York as a "bar fly stripper."

New England Police Benevolent Association (NEPBA) executive director Jerry Flynn posted several photoshopped memes of Democratic lawmakers, in addition to making offensive comments that echo some of President Donald Trump's talking points and personal attacks.

In a Facebook post in August, Flynn said former first lady Michelle Obama was perpetuating racism as evidenced by "'her people' ... killing each other by the dozens" in Chicago, her hometown. Gun violence has claimed 592 lives as of Oct. 5 and most of the victims are young Black men, according to the Chicago Tribune.

In a separate post the next month, Flynn described Sen. Kamala Harris of California — the Democratic vice presidential nominee and a former California attorney general — as a "racist pig" and "lunatic" who was "out of her ever living f------ mind."
