A white lobbyist has been fired after she was caught engaging in racist text messages during a Washington Capitals hockey game.
According to Time Now News, lobbyist Courtney Johnson was fired by her employer, the Alpine Group, a bipartisan government affairs consulting firm, after a video showed her exchanging racist text messages with a man named Jimmy.
Screenshots of the messages showed Jimmy making claims about the "white world" being welcoming to Black people. During a conversation about "targeted abortions," Johnson allegedly responded, "Abortion doesn’t target people. Black people have more sex partners and a higher risk of pregnancy…”
In the messages, Jimmy also claimed that Black students have an easier time getting accepted into college due to poverty, to which Johnson agreed.
"We have the highest GPAs, but colleges prioritize diversity, so they won't accept us," Johnson allegedly said.
'Woke people are brain dead," Jimmy allegedly wrote in another text message to Johnson.
Another conversation between the two showed Jimmy saying, “I want to kill all Blacks” and “I want to commit genocide.” Johnson didn't challenge the comments and continued the conversation.
The racist text exchange went viral online, prompting the Alpine Group to release a statement announcing Johnson's termination.
“Following a thorough internal inquiry, Courtney Johnson’s employment has been terminated, effective immediately, due to conduct inconsistent with company policies and standards. The views expressed are deeply offensive and inconsistent with our firm’s values and culture.”.
