Georgia Democrat Accuses Little Cuban Guy of Saying 'Go Back Where You Came From'

Posted on by Its All Over Except ...

Erica Thomas is a member of the Georgia House of Representatives. Clearly, that's not where she wants her political career to end, however. Yesterday, she suddenly claimed on Twitter that a white guy had harassed her at a grocery store, and had even told her to "go back where you came from!" Obviously, this was meant to prove that President Trump's statements about The Squad are contagious.

However, the accused man didn't take this lying down. When confronted by Rep. Thomas on camera he didn't take a step back and insisted that she wasn't telling the truth about their confrontation the day before: ...

Sparkes [Cuban guy] also calmly explained what had happened: ...

According to Sparkes, what happened is that Rep. Thomas was standing at the express lane. However, she had not ten but twenty items. That's rather rude. He pointed that out to her... after which she came up to him and started to bully him. That last part isn't exactly hard to believe considering the body language we see in the videos above. Sparkes is calm; Thomas is clearly trying to intimidate him.

What's more, Sparkes also explains that a) he's not white but Cuban and b) a Democrat.

Watching the videos can't help but make you feel that Sparkes is telling the truth, while Thomas is simply trying to score some cheap political points. Well, guess what happened later?

Finally, the State Rep. Thomas admits that, well, he didn't actually say "go back to where you came from." Now, he only made "those types of references."

“When confronted by Rep. Thomas on camera he didn’t take a step back and insisted that she wasn’t telling the truth about their confrontation the day before: ...” The lie spread on news updates all day. I heard it 3 times on the radio and I knew it was a lie the moment I heard it.
