Fitzgerald Samedy issued a statement to WGLT on Wednesday saying he does not support Jon Reed’s social media activity that included a litany of racist and misogynist content he either produced or shared.
“As a Haitian American and a first-generation born in this country, I too am very offended and disgusted,” Samedy said.
Reed’s and Samedy’s names jointly appeared on yard signs that asked voters to “Elect Two Good Men.”
