We can’t help but ask ourselves the same question. It seems like whenever Alabama State Rep. Alvin Holmes opens his mouth, pure crazy comes out.
Check out what happened yesterday during a debate over an anti-abortion bill:
ICYMI: Rep. Alvin Holmes says white Republican lawmakers would abort mixed-race grandchildren #ALpolitics http://t.co/TlwuzjVR4s

Here’s the disgusting audio, via AL.com:
Partial transcript:
“Ninety-nine percent of the all of the white people in here are going to raise their hand that they are against abortion. On the other hand, 99 percent of the whites that are sitting in here now, if their daughter got pregnant by a black man, they are going to make their daughter have an abortion. They ain’t gonna let her have the baby.”
Charming.
Can we vote all of these ppl out of office in the next election?! Rep. Alvin Holmes goes crazy and racist. http://t.co/PM6G6AjGAc

Rep Alvin Holmes claims 99% pro life white would abort if pregnant by a black? And WE are racist?

.@proteinwisdom The sad thing is he believes this. Maybe he missed the #MyRightWingBiracialFamily hashtag ?

That’s one explanation. A more likely one? He just can’t help being a racist jackass.

Congratulations, Rep. Holmes, on being sadly predictable.
Where have I heard this Alvin Holmes name before? http://t.co/GzRfWbwlYL Didn't he say something stupid a couple months ago, too?

OH RIGHT! Alvin Holmes was the guy who said he didn't like Clarence Thomas because he's married to a white woman. http://t.co/GzRfWbwlYL

@KatMcKinley Oy, Alvin Holmes. That's the same POS who called Clarence Thomas an "Uncle Tom."
