A white county commissioner in Georgia accused Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), who is black, of being a “racist pig” over the weekend after the congressman criticized President-elect Donald Trump. “John Lewis is a racist pig,” Hunter wrote on Saturday, according to a screenshot posted by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. What a bunch of idiots.”On Sunday, Hunter wrote that “Lewis’ district is drawn to keep him in power. His wins are all illegitimate.”Gwinnett County, where Hunter serves, has been accused of district-drawing problems of its own. The entire Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners is white, as is the County Board of Education.
