Pawleys Island Mayor Apologizes for Insensitive Facebook Post

Pawleys Island’s mayor has apologized after sharing a controversial social media post. Mayor Brian Henry reportedly made an inappropriate and racially charged comment on Facebook that has since been deleted. It referred to the recent Georgetown shooting where two people were killed. Henry claimed there was not as much outrage since the perpetrator was African American and the victims white. The mayor said “my comments were hurtful and insensitive” but that he’s learning more about racial injustice following the incident and working to be part of the solution. Many people are still calling for his resignation, however.
