Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann today publicly addressed questionable comments about Mississippi reportedly made by a DOJ employee: “I find these comments unprofessional, unwarranted, irresponsible, and misguided, particularly with Mississippi’s pending voter identification submission before the Department of Justice. I respectfully request the Department of Justice take appropriate disciplinary action against Ms. Gyamfi and to publicly clarify its own position that such a statement does not reflect the opinions of its department.” Hosemann was responding to comments allegedly made by Department of Justice employee Stephanie Gyamfi , who reportedly posted on Facebook: “A Justice Department employee stating our state is ‘disgusting and shameful’ is another indication Mississippi’s voter ID submission will not receive fair consideration,” said Hosemann. “I do not believe an employee who makes such statements should review any voter identification application by the State of Mississippi, or, for that matter, any state subject to Section 5.” GulfLive.com has the full story.
“They never do…disgusting and shameful. Hey, that should replace the state motto! “Mississippi: Disgusting and Shameful.”…forget the magnolia state motto.”
