Guy Phillips, a city councilman in Scottsdale, Arizona, has apologized for being an ignorant asshat after yelling “I can’t breathe” before removing his mask during a speech at an anti-mask rally.
Yes, he did. I.Can’t.Breathe.
Guy Phillips, ignorant, perhaps racist, asshat, helped organize the “Unmask Us” protest after Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane ordered residents to wear face coverings in public amid rising COVID-19 rates.
Arizona is having their worst numbers since the pandemic began, but by all means, Guy, use the last words of a man murdered by a police officer as your rallying cry. A cry he is now trying to apologize for:
“I did not mean any disrespect and there was no connection. I am sorry about a comment I made today that was the same comment Mr. Floyd had made. He didn’t deserve what happened to him and I by no means was trying to make light of it by saying I cant breathe in a mask. Please accept my sincerest apology and that goes out to anyone who became offended.”
You’d have to be living under an Ignorant Asshat Rock not to know that saying ‘I can’t breathe’ would conjure up images of George Floyd, and to suggest that your wearing a mask to help protect other people from catching a virus that has killed 125,000 Americans is anywhere near the same as George Floyd’s dying declaration is typical GOP cluelessness and asshattery.
PS Last in March, Guy Phillips apologized after sharing a Facebook post that said COVID-19 stands for “Chinese Originated Viral Infectious Disease.”
Racist then, racist now.

He should be removed for that for the moral and obvious reasons. We need to start to get these people out who act like this and don't show any morals or statesmanship or the general care. You ask me because of the spike numbers there they should all be kicked out. These games are done....we need to take back power and get these people out of office.
ReplyDeleteAsshats seem to be totally oblivious to being asshats. Or they don't care until someone calls them on it.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Fellow deserves his new title!
ReplyDeletetake care,, xoxo :-)
I would have thought a 5 year old could make the connection - do you think being a Republican requires that you have brain surgery (to remove such an offending item) before being allowed to join the party?
ReplyDeleteKICK THAT MUTHAFUCKA IN THE BALLS AND VOTE HIM OUT!
ReplyDeleteIdiot. Of course he knew what he was saying. It’s all racist dog whistles with these Repugs.
ReplyDeleteUgh.
His non apology apology is the worst.
XoXo
He definitely knew what he was saying. The lame apology makes it all the worse, if that is even possible.
ReplyDelete@MM
ReplyDeleteRemoved and never be allowed to run for public office again.
@Deedles
That's the trouble with asshattery; the carrier doesn't see it in themselves.
@TDM
And then some ...
@Helen
Most in the GOP don't have the sense God gave a 5-year-old.
@AM
PREACH!
@Six
He knew; he thought it'd be funny?
@Michael
Another meaningless apology for being stupid.
Star and end with "I'm sorry I fucked up."
He also has a brain about the size of a pea.
ReplyDeleteClearly brain dead.
