Carbon Hill Mayor Mark Chambers issued an apology claiming his remarks inciting violence were 'taken out of context.'
One day before the start of Pride Month, an Alabama mayor reportedly recommended the killing of the LGBTQ community.
In response, one of Chamber’s friends, whose identity was concealed by WBRC, wrote, “I hate to think of the country my grandkids will live in unless somehow we change and I think that will take a revolution.”“The only way to change it would be to kill the problem out. I know it’s bad to say but without killing them out there’s no way to fix it.”
On Tuesday, Chambers posted an apology on Facebook, but local newspaper Daily Mountain Eagle reported that the mayor appears to have taken down his Facebook page containing the apology.
