South Carolina GOPer Who Made Racist Joke about Michelle Obama Previously Served On...Diversity Council

lol Good lord...

TPM:

Remember Rusty DePass, the South Carolina Republican activist and former state elections director who apologized yesterday after he joked on Facebook that an escaped gorilla from a local zoo was an ancestor of Michelle Obama? It turns out that he recently had another important job: Promoting racial diversity in the city of Columbia.

The State points out that DePass served a three-year term on the Greater Columbia Community Relations Council. The council's mission statement is to promote: "positive relationships within the community"; "equal opportunity and fair services for all members of the community"; and "awareness and appreciation of cultural diversity."
