Rhodes “apology” to Jahana Hayes is more offensive than her racist comment

This is rich.

After staying silent in face of the firestorm around her, on the same day that the Newstimes started an inquiry reagrding her offensive and racist commentary regarding Jahana Hayes, Danbury Democatic Town Committee memebr Martha Rhodes posted the following message before temporarily deactivating her Facebook account.

Unreal...

In apologizing “if my personal commented in any way offended" anyone, Rhodes shows that she didn’t learn a thing from denigrating a person of color.

I felt excluded by her because I’m white and she repeatedly harped on how government should look like her while veiling her own racism with allusions to diversity and fairness in her final remarks.

To add salt to the wound, in response to a comment of support for her, Rhodes shows her true colors in calling her critics as people with "clouded lenses" and appears to takes umbrage over the entire dust-up.

By deflecting blame to her critics and not honestly accepting full ownership for her remarks, Rhodes shows that she learned nothing from her actions and is unfit to hold a position of the town committee.

Rhodes needs to resign...and she needs to resign now.
