S.D. GOP whip loses job, speaking event over controversial meme
RAPID CITY — A real estate company dropped its ties to a state lawmaker Tuesday night after she shared an image on Facebook depicting protesters being hit by a vehicle under the caption, "All Lives Splatter."
Keller Williams Realty of the Black Hills, where Rep. Lynne DiSanto was previously listed as an associate realtor, announced on Facebook that it was no longer associated with her.
Another group, Working Against Violence, Inc., said they were in search of another speaker for an upcoming event after DiSanto shared the image September 7, less than one month after a driver plowed through counter protesters at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., killing a 32-year-old woman and injuring 19 others.
The Box Elder Republican deleted the post Tuesday after it was circulated by members of progressive groups South Dakota Forward and Indivisible Rapid City, who called on the lawmaker to apologize.
