Karece Thompson, a Black man who serves as a Clearfield City councilman, was recently the target of a racist comment made by a member of the Davis County Republican Party Facebook group.
CLEARFIELD, Utah — Karece Thompson is a gospel rap lover, a Clearfield City councilman, and a Black man. In April, he was the target of a racist comment made by a member of the Davis County Conservatives Facebook page.
Although the comment called Thompson out directly, he says it also implied the minority vote isn't respected. Utah State Treasurer Marlo Oaks alongside other members of the Utah Republican Party also condemned the comments. Utah State Parliamentarian Todd Weiler said in a tweet:"Racism can never be tolerated; it is not consistent with any"conservative" principle. While I am not a member of that FB group, I condemn these actions in the strongest terms. My sincere apologies, [Karece], you don't deserve this kind of harassment or disparagement."
