Remember that guy back in March who said he'd never vote for Nikki Haley because" she has no balls to scratch" [View all]

I was cleaning my bookmarks and had bookmarked this article,

https://www.mediaite.com/politics/super-tuesday-voter-lets-loose-with-nbc-about-why-hes-not-voting-haley-she-doesnt-have-no-balls-to-scratch/

One such voter was Emmett Martin of Graham, North Carolina. He spoke with NBC correspondent Shaquille Brewster and needed just a bit of convincing to give the real reason why he was refusing to support Nikki Haley over Donald Trump for the Republican Party’s presidential nominee.

“You know, what I got to say, you don’t really want to put on the air,” Martin said.

Well, one is not going to be a good president because she doesn’t have no balls to scratch. She’s just going to scratch her head. All a woman is good for in my book is having babies and taking care of the house. That’s the old thing, but I’m old school,” Martin said.

Because she’s female.”

Martin followed up by saying he doesn’t want to be taken the wrong way. He then insisted women need “guidance.”

“Don’t take me wrong, females know what they’re doing, but they still got to have a little bit of guidance. Trump would be the one to guide her,” he said.

Well out of curiously I searched him to see if he had anymore “pearls of wisdom”

And up came his obituary.

Emmett Wesley Martin Obituary

Liberty, NC: With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Emmett Wesley Martin, age 64, on June 19, 2024, in Liberty, North Carolina. Born on February 22, 1960, in Galax, Virginia, Emmett lived a life full of love, adventure, and dedication to his family and passions.

No mention of the cause of his death but he looked pretty heathy in March. It is the same guy from his picture. I wonder if the stress of what he said came back to haunt him?

Very sad and strange. And one less vote for the convicted felon.
