Politico reporter Joe Williams, who was suspended last week for implying on MSNBC that Mitt Romney is only comfortable around "white folks," previously made racially divisive comments about his employer on Twitter.
According to the Daily Caller:
Williams…tweeted about his employer on the evening of March 30 that "what’s most irritating is the overlay of blatant racism. that’s the secret sauce in the Politico shitburger."…
In a tweet nine minutes before that comment, Williams wrote that "we’re supposed to be about justice and the truth, but we’re mostly about posturing, arcane rules and CYA [Cover Your Ass]. annoying."…
But when asked about his March 30 tweets, Williams would only say, "I was having a bad day," before referring TheDC to attorney Jeff Jacobovitz for comment.
Three hours later, Williams’ Twitter account was deleted.
