Cretinous yahoos.

Eight City Council members refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance Wednesday, joining a protest started by City Councilman Jumaane Williams earlier this month.
Williams has received racist hate mail calling him a “f—– plantation monkey” and telling him to “drop dead” since saying he would not recite the pledge in protest of injustices including killings by police and gun violence.
Seven other pols remained seated as the rest of the body pledged to the flag at Wednesday’s Council meeting.
