No wonder, it’s the racist south.

It's CNN making up news.

Is it proper to vote against someone you hate if you can’t explain why you hate the person and can’t elaborate on why your supporting the person you are voting for?

But Harris can stand outside a polling place and cackle for votes

Good, stay in your lane!

The horror of not allowing a political advertising into a poll... But it is a racist organization so probably for the best... White live matters yo

Its against the law to wear political clothing as a poll worker it’s our job to ask them to remove or cover their political clothing. Why would they get fired for enforcement of rules? Do your research be for you praise the bad behavior

I’m a Republican and a BLM supporter. It’s not a political party.

I was told to zip up my jacket and cover my Trump shirt. Should I riot now?

Voter Suppression is Real

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

You are not supposed to display names of organizations and groups. This is voter suppression

Must be a democratic supporter

Good! ✊

Should have been given a promotion!

I was always under the impression that nothing political was to be worn inside of the voting areas?

I don’t trust red state poll workers.

GovBillLee People don’t seem to be choosing or promising properly.

one of the poll workers here in Georgia in Fortsyth county tried to tell a voter he couldn't vote because of his BLM shirt, which is completely false. As long as your clothing doesn't have a candidate or something on the ballot on it you can wear it!

Yeah heaven forbid a terrorist organization like BLM and their supporters not be allowed to wear their propaganda to the polls to try and intimidated normal voters.

Vote for mass incarnation vote Joe Biden.. Joe Biden also supports human trafficking he mentioned how he supports it in the last presidential debate..

And yet proud boy Covidiots walk among Findlay OH.

What’s next with these folks 🤬

BLM stands very firmly behind the Democratic Party he was right to tell them to turn it inside out same goes for blue lives matter. If you don’t understand why him being fired was wrong than educate yourselves and stop being ignorant.

In fairness, if people wear MAGA gear, they too shouldn’t be asked to remove or hide it.

So we admit BLM is a partisan organization?

If BLM is a political statement then we know what party doesn't believe that Black people deserve to live.

Hunter Biden hired a young poll worker and fired up his pipe, when will CNN report on that?

Attire that has anything to do with election can't be worn. As far as I am concerned that could be perceived as campaign influence and hate speech. Referring to the riots and the violence as positive.

If political slogans are forbidden, then I see no wrongdoing here. It is a Liberal Democrat political message. A very well defined one. Read their website.

I’m a poll worker trainer in Cali. Anything on the ballot is not allowed. BLM is okay. We were told MAGA was not okay until a couple days ago. Slogans are now okay per Alex Padilla Cali SOS but not actual candidates. More clarity on policy will be given to us next couple days.

Read news that matters.

Good!

Maybe BLM should have destroyed the cnn building.

Good

Campaigning is not allowed when you at poll stations.

Well...If I Can't wear my Trump Hat at the Polls then BLM supporters should not be allowed to display BLM stuff...

Wearing a shirt and turning it inside out does not change the issue of inequality. The country express free speech. But, those individuals in power allow the “distraction” of BLM carry their picket signs while select few in the nation continue to grow their blessings.

Black Lives Matter is a domestic terror organization.

Joe corruption explained. Must listen with details.

why does it matter what you wear to vote as long as your covered hell wear a toga who cares

Good.

Aren’t voters not supposed to wear anything political to the polling stations?

He shouldn't have said anything out the burn loot murder shirts. It's their right to wear them.

cancel him....

are you allowed to wear any party articles...hats? sweater?

Follow for quick follow back. Epp ur neighbor so u all grow together.

Well

Completely ridiculous hope he sues the state, it is definitely a political slogan adapted by the left, just like MAGA. It should not be tolerated within 150 feet of the polling place.

So fired for doing his job!!!! I bet there was some fraud after he left the building, you crooked bastards!

Austria 2020 march

So BLM is now a political party?

I guess a KKK shirt is ok too.

American People deserve to know the truth how Hunter Biden and his father betrayed U.S and corrupted by Chinese Communist Party . Go to GTV and Gnews to get more exclusive information.

*pole worker

I’m not a supporter of BLM because I don’t believe you fight racism with more racism but, as a moderate American nobody should be forced to turn their shirt inside because they have BLM or for that matter a confederate flag. Freedom of expression has to be respected by all.

Someone was paying attention and doing the job to protect the polls

Biden said he and Obama created the largest voter fraud campaign !! Is this how Barrack won ? How they will cheat in the 2020 elections? Why Biden doesn’t have to campaign he’s sure to win?

Would they have let me in with a MAGA hat? NO. It’s against TN Law. Same with any thing that could be construed as supporting one candidate over another. Idiots.

Right to vote is not conditional.

Read this like 2 weeks ago, CNN re-hashing old news?

What a creep.

So black lives mattering is a partisan political issue now America is fucking lost.

State laws vary. I'm working polls in Texas. Anything with candidate's name not allowed. Political statement items like MAGA, BLM etc have been alloewed. Maskless voters offered maskes, per our governor, can't force them.

The nerve!

should not matter what you wear to the polls. you should be able to vote with what you want on. Voters know you cannot campaign on voting property. those are the ones that can be turned away. BLM is not on the ballot so to speak. it's a statement, not a candidate.

cnn you'll soon learn that America just wants you to report the news... not analyze the fact for us or try and convince us to share your opinion. Until you learn this, you will continue to be irrelevant.

How is DJT’s agenda efter he lost the election, nov 3? 1) He is going to be an active person, representing the GOP in the opposition for the coming 4 years! 2) He is going to fade away and just disappear, as the bad loser he is!

So he was fired for doing his work. Hope MAGA shirts will be treated the same way

ifb

Brainless racists... Trump has 1/2 of America believing in ANTIFA is a clear/present threat… When it turns out more white supremicists were arrested for violent crimes during the BLM protests than there were ANTIFA supporters/members. Old white men! Donny played you!🤦‍♂️

No shoes. No shirts we don’t agree with. No service. I guess that’s the 2020 sign.

BLM are a communist political organisation supporting Biden, so it was the right thing to do.

Good. Cya!

Black lives matters is not on the Ballot! So how is this partisan ?

BLM is a political organization that supports Biden. Poll worker was right.
