Mayoral candidate tells audience members 'Go back to Africa'

ST. PETERSBURG (FOX 13) - Intensity surrounding the St. Petersburg race for mayor intensifies by the day, and Tuesday was no different.
After the assertion was made he was a "non-factor" in the race, Mayoral Candidate Paul Congemi snapped back at members of the Uhuru movement and their candidate, Jesse Nevel during a mayoral debate July 18 in St. Pete.
Congemi's response was one many may not have expected. "Mr. Nevel you and your people talk about reparations.

The reparations that you talk about, Mr. Nevel, your people already got your reparations. Your reparations came in the form of a man named Barack Obama," Congemi said, pointing a finger at the audience as he spoke.He continued, "My advice to you, if you don't like it here in America, planes leave every hour from Tampa airport. Go back to Africa. Go back to Africa. Go back!
Get out of here" a woman in the audience could be heard saying several times. Another mayoral candidate said twice "non-factor" in response to the tirade from candidate Congemi.

LMAO! WOW!
What a classy guy (theres lots to read about this guy in general)

Hilarious that a person like this can be so stupid and exposes himself for the rest of us normal people to see
Sad that people like him still exist and get votes
 

Well, if that is how he feels, I guess, I wouldn't vote for him any more than for a representative of BLM or feminism. "isms" are almost always a reason to vote for someone else.
 
While I don't agree with what he said, after reading more about the Uhuru movement, what he said isn't as shocking as it first sounds. IMO
 
Welcome to Trumps America.....



:eek:
 

Where is the entire video of all comments made before this one?

How did the topic of black reparations become part of a mayorial debate in Florida?

That is totally out of context
 
Then again, this is the south, so maybe he just gained as many supporters as he lost.

Yep, them " southern whities" are up to it again.

Meanwhile, there is a ongoing trend of black families moving down south...... and not Boston.

As the Mexicans evacuate California, they are welcome to work there. More and more jobs are opening up every day. MAGA!

This may be true, but he better switch Parties quickly. He won't get many votes from DEMs.

The video contained only the one man's comment not anything that was said before that

isms? what ism do you think he is part of off?
What ism is a " representative of BLM" part off?
"almost always" all representatives of feminism would be enough for you to vote for somebody else

how is this guy, BLM and Feminism logically related in a similar, narrow group relevant and worthy of discussion?

:popcorn2:
 
The video contained only the one man's comment not anything that was said before that

And yet the info along with his own words before making that statment provide full content LMAO :shrug:
Fact remains his statment was not taken out of context in the OP, if you disagree factually prove otherwise. Hint: you wont be able too.

thats the sad part I was referring too in my OP. Unfortunately there are some people that would vote for him based on that statment alone .. . . even more unfortunately the south has little to do with that, they are everywhere.

We have no context at all without hearing the entire debate prior to his comments

I have already backed up my claim that the video is out of context.

The entire debate is not provided only one quote by a single person.
