Commissioner Bryan Lober Is Facing Backlash For Threats To Run Over Trump Supporters, Calls Fellow Politician’s Children “Scourge On Humanity” | June 18
Brevard County: A Florida law, Bryan Lober, maker says he would support abortion because a woman’s children would be a scourge on humanity. Irony; he was a scourge on humanity for making the comments he did as he is the Commissioner of Brevard County.
Bryan Lober is also facing intense backlash for Facebook comments about running over Trump protesters. Lober is being criticized for saying that if Brevard Democratic Chair Stacey Patel got an abortion he’d “look the other way as I can only imagine what a scourge on humanity (and on our economy) her offspring would prove to be.”
He also referred to her hypothetical children as a “litter.”
Lober made the comments on the Political Voice of Brevard County public Facebook page, under a post by a page admin joking about Patel raising funds to protest Trump.
Lober has refused to apologize, releasing the following statement to media, “First and foremost, my comments on Facebook are made in my individual capacity, not in my capacity as an elected official. Moreover, it would be a mischaracterization to claim that either post was intended to be anything but facetious as should be evident by both the content and from the context in which they were written.”
Patel has since called for Lober to resign or for the commission to discipline him.
The present conflict, according to Lober, is all Patel’s fault. He’s said that Patel continues to act as though elected officials have no first amendment protections. Her behavior is an attempt to create unnecessary division between the political parties and to cast an us versus them situation in which she can gain relevance and perpetuate a philosophy of victimhood.
