South Carolina GOPer Says Escaped Gorilla Is First Lady's Ancestor

That mild, mainstream, very Serious, Republican Party for ya. Rusty DePass, a Prominent S.C. Republican writes comment on Facebook page that an escaped gorilla is just an ancestor of the First Lady and probably harmless.

Crusty Old White Men still can't figure out the world left them behind.

*Update:

DePass is now apologizing but insisting the First Lady started it by saying humans descended from apes. The only thing wrong with that is the First Lady never made such a comment. It's purely a racist comment plain and simple.

In reality, the First Lady is an actual descendant of a family of slaves from South Carolina. It's horrible enough as an American to have to write that last sentence and repulsively shameful to think someone from the present State of South Carolina, which happily enslaved millions of blacks, would even make such a comment.
