"We call out this behavior for what it is: egregious, racially disparaging, shockingly misinformed, and inflammatory statements made at the expense of Alaskan women, specifically, Alaska Native women who live in villages, just to advance his political agenda.  We won't accept hate speech from an elected official who, as a leader and representative, should be expected to set the highest standards for behavior."

Seriously? This is nothing more than a move to ban free speech. Just because someone comes across as an ass, that doesn't mean you should restrict their right to have their say. I KNOW guys who have committed minor crimes to get a free flight into Bethel. Am I "disparaging" the villagers because some actually do that? People should be intelligent enough to understand what they read is someone's opinion, and that should not be considered "hate speech" (a euphemism for something socialists don't like).
