Showing Original Post only (View all)Ex-GOP official goes bonkers after court cites his ‘Daily Show’ remarks to kill NC voter ID law [View all]
Another GOP idiot learning of the existence of karma;
Former North Carolina Republican official Don Yelton is back in the news again for all the wrong reasons.
Yelton was fired from his job way back in 2013 after he told The Daily Show that his states new voter ID law would hurt Democratic voters. Specifically, he said that if the law hurts a bunch of lazy blacks that want the government to give them everything, so be it.
An appeals court last week found that the voter ID law was indeed designed to be discriminatory and it even cited Yeltons remarks to The Daily Show as part of its case for striking down the law.
Yelton was furious about this, and over the weekend he went on an unhinged rant against the ruling on his Facebook page. In particular, Yelton was angry that Buncombe County GOP Chairman Nathan West once again trashed him for being a racist.

Such a delicate little flower, this Yelton fellow. Well Yelton, bed. Made. Lie.
