Republican Gov. Nathan Deal of Georgia recently signed an executive order authorizing the removal of the Tom Watson statue from the grounds of the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta.

You are probably saying who is Tom Watson? “Tom Watson was a first-class hater and it wasn’t just Jewish people, he hated Catholics and Black people too,” said Anti-Defamation League southeastern director Bill Nigut, in a 2010 story on 11 Alive News.

Watson was a prominent voice in the buildup to the 1915 lynching of Leo Frank, a Jewish businessman convicted of murdering Mary Phagan. “His anti-Semitism and racism was particularly vile,” said Sen. Vincent Fort.  Fort says Watson whipped up racist sentiment that led to a riot in Atlanta in 1906.

For all that think Governor Deal is a liberal…that could not be further from the truth. He is very conservative, but as a man, he does what’s right. I have a lot of respect for him. The tea party have no influence with him, so all they can do is pout and say ugly things. SAD.
