Dem Alabama state representative agrees with Don Lemon assertion that ‘the biggest terror threat in this country is white men’

Longtime Alabama state Rep. Thomas E. “Action” Jackson (D-Thomasville) said he agrees that “the biggest terror threat in this country is white men.”

On Jackson’s personal Facebook page on Friday, the representative from southwestern Alabama shared an article titled, “Don Lemon: ‘The Biggest Terror Threat In This Country Is White Men.’” Jackson added the caption “4REAL!” to indicate his support.

In the article, Lemon laments that Muslims have been scrutinized, but not white men, referring to President Trump’s travel ban.

“So, we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them. There is no travel ban on them. There is no ban on — you know, they had the Muslim ban. There is no white guy ban,” Lemon said.

This comes after Jackson, in an another post earlier this week, said, “WE ARE IN A WAR!”

The state representative has also been actively campaigning on social media for Democratic gubernatorial nominee and Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox.

Jackson, who lives in Clarke County, has been in the state legislature since 1994. He is a preacher and an educator, also representing parts of Monroe, Marengo, Choctaw, Conecuh and Washington Counties.
