CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) --*UPDATE 3/2/19 @ 8:25 a.m.*

West Virginia Republican Party Chairwoman Melody Potter is speaking out after a war of words broke out at the West Virginia Capitol Friday over a controversial poster that was displayed during a “Republicans Take the Rotunda” event.

"The West Virginia Republican Party does not approve, condone, or support hate speech," the statement says. "One of the exhibitors at our West Virginia Republican Party Day at the Capitol displayed a sign that we did not approve, were not aware of before the day started, and we do not support. Upon learning about the sign, we immediately asked this exhibitor to remove the sign.

Our Party supports freedom of speech, but we do not endorse speech that advances intolerant and hateful views. We have shown that when West Virginians are united, when we respect each other, embrace our differences and focus on moving our state forward what we can accomplish."

The firestorm has grabbed national attention since the story broke.

A meeting is set for Saturday morning to address the events that unfolded.

UPDATE 3/1/19 @ 10:30 p.m.
The reverberations of an anti-Muslim poster on display at the West Virginia Capitol rotunda continue, with the House Sergeant at Arms resigning and talk of possible discipline against a lawmaker who allegedly injured a doorkeeper Friday.

Sgt. at Arms Anne Lieberman resigned Friday afternoon after delegates accused her of using an anti-Muslim slur. "The sergeant of arms of this body had the nerve to say to us 'all Muslims are terrorists' that's beyond shameful and that's beyond freedom of speech," Del. Michael Angelucci, D-Marion, said.

The poster that sparked the controversy consisted of two photos. The upper photo was a picture of the World Trade Center towers during the 9/11 attack. A caption read, "'NEVER FORGET' - YOU SAID.."

Below it was a photo of Minnesota Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, wearing a hijab. Omar is Muslim, and was one of two Muslim women elected to Congress. That picture's caption said, "I AM PROOF - YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN."

Speaking of West Virginians and people getting fired….

I seem to recall a joke about the PA announcer at the annual Pitt/Mountaineers football game. They were playing in Pittsburgh and he comes over the loudspeaker.

“Ladies and gentlemen may I please have your attention. There is a car in the parking lot with it’s lights on. It’s a 1973 Ford Granada; West Virginia License Plate E-I-E-I-O.

Always makes me chuckle.

WVU-Pitt has been a long rivalry but it has never been as hateful as say WVU-Va. Tech was back in the Big East day.

Damn dune coons.

I do have some decent Muslim friends, but by and large, she's right.

Cruse missiles, armed drones, cluster bombs, invading innocent countries like Iraq, air/fuel dispersion bombs like used on the Highway of Death, etc., are all vastly more terrorist acts then 9/11 attack on the WTC.
So then clearly the US is far more terrorist than all the Muslims of the world combined.

EVERYONE has some decent Muslim friends.

And yet Islamization and our ignorance about political Islam continues strongly.

LOLOL

We are not good at screening for terrorists.

How good do you think we are at spotting peaceful Jihadis who would smile and vote for Tlaib or contribute to Hamas charities or go online and bash Trump where you would never know?



LOL

An opinion is not hate speech. It is an opinion, and in this country you are allowed to express your opinions, in public. On signs, on t-shirts, on vagina hats, on a soap box. Let's keep that right. Let's allow people to continue express themselves. Political correctness is tyranny.

Where does the US use weapons except to make a situation better?

Saying "all Muslims are terrorists" is ignorant, bigoted, and factually wrong.

And here's an example of that rightwing ignorance, bigotry, and hate.

For what it's worth, I agree.
