California man who was to be honored as his town's 'Citizen of the Year' declines award after Facebook posts surface of him calling for a ban on Islam and portraying a Democratic leader as a Nazi.
San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Lynn Compton, who told KSBY that the county has begun looking for a new planning commissioner, did not immediately respond to NBC News' request for comment.His posts included a series of memes on Facebook that targeted Democrats and Muslims specifically. One image from Dec. 11 depicted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a framed photo wearing a Nazi uniform. A placard below the frame reads,"Minister of Propaganda.
A meme from Nov. 21 states that"America needs to shut down all Mosques and ban Islam. Bet you won't repost this." Other posts on Harrison's Facebook that were reviewed by NBC News showed additional memes that targeted Muslims and mosques. “There was a post on my Facebook that offended some people,” Harrison wrote, according to the newspaper. “I apologize if it was offensive to you. The post was deleted when this came to my attention.”
