'I Hate Fucking Faggots' and '[Budish] is a Jew': County Inspector General Finds Former Jail Boss Ke
'I Hate Fucking Faggots' and '[Budish] is a Jew': County Inspector General Finds Former Jail Boss Ken Mills Made Homophobic, Anti-Semitic RemarksFormer Cuyahoga County jail boss Ken Mills this morning pleaded not guilty to charges that he lied to Cuyahoga County council and prosecutor's office investigators in the ongoing county corruption probe. His possible role in blocking the hiring of nurses at the county jail and what he told authorities in the aftermath will play out in court, but regardless of the legal outcome, a report from county Inspector General Mark Griffin that was finalized on Jan. 8 shows that Mills is generally a bad dude who apparently couldn't interact or talk about someone who wasn't a cis white male without making an offensive remark.
Outlined in the report, which was first reported by Cleveland.com and which can be read in full at the end of this post, are four broad trends of egregious behavior, especially by a county employee. Namely, disparagement of homosexuals, African-Americans, women and Jewish people.
Some highlights:
Mills inquired with an employee whether two males county employees were involved in a relationship. When that employee asked why Mills cared, the employee said Mills responded, "I hate fucking faggots." It was not the only witness or instance of Mills using the language or expressing his feelings on the matter.

So why even post this? Just a reminder...they never stop with just one group! Bigotry is wrong, no matter the targeted group!

But looking at the Cuyahoga County officials who appointed him, they appear to be all or mostly Democrats.
That said, it's not a political post, so who knows.
