Smiths Station Mayor F.L. 'Bubba' Copeland talks with President Donald Trump after deadly tornadoes touched down in the area in 2019.Cam Ward, director of Alabama Prisons and Paroles, called Copeland’s death “so incredibly sad.”
“We condemn, in the strongest terms, the use of discriminatory and hateful rhetoric to target the personal lives of individuals - be they public or private citizens,” Lowe added. “The practice of demonizing each because of personal life choices must end because it has very real and life-altering consequences.”
Larry DiChiara, a Republican congressional candidate in east Alabama in 2016, said he offered support and encouragement to Copeland after the posts were published and was angry and heartbroken over Copeland’s death. “This man by the accounts I read was a good mayor who led his town through a terrible time,” Nelson tweeted. “Blowing up his private life, in this environment, was a cruel decision.”
Another person, who said they were a resident of Lee County, prayed for Copeland’s family while criticizing those that judged the mayor.
