Meet #ErinDecker.

She is a County Board Supervisor for Dist. 22. She is a Republican. She is one of the two county supervisors who invited Trump to Kenosha.

Tonight she sat with her back turned to the community. It was unbelievable. It was disrespectful. It was ludicrous.

1/

Her attitude, demeanor, and actions spoke to who she is as person and what her ideas are vis a vis minority communities in Kenosha.

"I THINK HE'S DONE A GOOD JOB."

- Erin Decker, Kenosha County Board Supervisor, on Donald Trump's Kenosha Response

2/

"IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE. 80 % OF PEOPLE IN KENOSHA SUPPORT WHAT KYLE RITTENHOUSE DID."

- Erin Decker, Kenosha County Board Supervisor, on her support of Kyle Rittenhouse.

Ponder those quotes for a minute.

This woman is the Chair of the Republican Party in Kenosha County.

3/

Delusional. Pathetic. Mean spirited. Irrational. Irresponsible. Deeply Racist.

These were some of the nicer terms Kenoshans used to describe Erin Decker at tonight's County Board Meeting. I was not as generous as they were.

This is the face of white entitlement.

4/

This is white supremacy unseathed. This is Donald Trump's vision of America and her actions were the perfect metaphor for Donald Trump's record on race relations in this nation.

His back has been turned as firmly as hers.

And while that might seem like a passive act--

5/

it is actually an act of aggression meant to stir a specific response.

At some points tonight you could see the corners of her mouth turn up into the smallest of grins. Even when the most poignant/angry of the citizen speakers took their turn at the mic she'd almost grin.

6/

This person seems to derives satisfaction from such moments. She thinks it makes her look like a hero or martyr and maybe to some it does. To Trump she is everything this country needs more of, but as we all know, he gets everything wrong.
