MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Montgomery County Revenue Commissioner Janet Buskey is coming under fire Thursday after she allegedly posted a politically-charged rant on Facebook.

Though the original post has now been deleted, WSFA in Montgomery obtained a screenshot of it and posted the text.

The top 3 scariest things to me on the face of the earth are:

1. Racist (with or without guns)
2. Homophobes
3. Republicans…wait that is redundant…hmmm…make that Clowns…wait that is redundant…Confederate flag wavers…wait…FB messenger.

Montgomery County officials are speaking out about Buskey’s post, disagreeing with her sentiments.

This is not a black or white issue, this is a right or wrong issue,” said Republican Montgomery County Commissioner Ronda Walker, who said her heart sank when she read the post. “What she did was wrong, the wrong thing to do. Am I offended by it? No, I’m no offended by it because I don’t consider myself a racist homophobic clown, although I am a Republican.”

“I really want to stress that the Montgomery County Commission does not feel like what was posted on Facebook, we represent everyone in Montgomery County,” added Montgomery County Commission Chair Elton Dean, “we want to make sure that everyone is treated fairly.”
