    The Mississippi governor, Tate Reeves, who himself recently declared April as Confederate Heritage Month and April 29 as Confederate memorial day, celebrated the counter-protesters in a tweet that some say drew parallels to former Mississippi governor Ross Barnett, a proud segregationist.

    […]

    Reeves captioned a video of the counter-protesters singing the American national anthem with “the ‘protests’ at Ole Miss today. Watch with sound. Warms my heart. I love Mississippi!”

    We knew Mississippi was a trash state, but they felt the need to remind us. Disgusting behavior. Cheers to the kids who made up the protest and especially the one with the sign pointing out that Jesus was Palestinian. Watch the documentary, The Mayor, for insight into Palestinian pride for his origin in their land.

    Obligatory: Fuck the South.
