New Jersey Politician Can’t Handle Being Meme’d
Former Cinnaminson mayor Anthony Minniti lost his bid for re-election last week.
Adding insult to injury, a local teacher photoshopped one of Minniti's campaign posters to feature the Crying Jordan. The image was posted to the Cinnaminson Friends & Neighbors Facebook group (which is private).
When he saw the image, Minniti went a bit crazy:
Obviously, I’m disgusted by this post, but sadly not surprised. It was only a matter of time before someone took this moblike behavior too far, and this is definitely too far. Hate has no place in Cinnaminson, and this needs to be treated with the seriousness it warrants.”
Whoa, buddy. Have you never been on the internet before? Crying Jordan is one of the tamest memes out there, and there are plenty of more hurtful, insulting, and hateful things people could have posted.
The image was locked in the private Facebook, but Deadspin put together an "artist's representation"
Considering how much Republicans like to call liberals "whiny snowflakes", this guy certainly got his feelings hurt by a simple image on the internet.
