ABILENE, TX-- After being surrounded with controversy from Facebook comments labeled as racist, Abilene City Councilman Kyle McAlister filed his paperwork to run for re-election on Wednesday.
McAlister is looking for a third term in the race for Abilene's Place 6 race, as KTXS first reported.
"What I said and what I wrote (was) very inappropriate, very offensive, very insensitive, not thoughtful at all. And I regret that," McAlister said.
McAlister is running on the platform of fixing Abilene's streets and focusing on their downtown hotel.
However, McAlister knows the 120,000-plus Abilene residents are where his fate lies in the upcoming election.
"I represent 120,000 Abilenians all across the spectrum," McAlister said "If they think 'Hey, he's apologized. We're good. We move on,' then great. If they say 'we're not,' that's fine too."
Elections will be held on May 4.

PermalinkRR, or ZZ, couldn't prove gravity if he lived on Jupiter. If anyone runs against this doofus, McAlister is history as a city commish.

I certainly don't want to take a stroll downtown and find myself in the middle of 800 Caucasians flipping police cars and looting Eggemeyer's.

Permalink..and less yapping, I'd become a fan.
I find her pretentiousness insufferable, and her lack of even the basic A,B,C's of politics, embarrassing, but the bouncing around to Beyonce . . I suddenly want to know more.

PermalinkYes, yes we're definitely vibing, you and I. We're right on the same wavelength. That makes perfect sense considering that much of the country spent the election speculating about the "explosive yield" of the current POTUS' "projectile." Totally objectified. Like a Trump steak.
She's not a bad dancer there, either. Tangentially related:
