LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A settlement was reached Tuesday after an activist group accused Arkansas state Sen. Jason Rapert of wrongfully blocking users on his social media accounts.

The state of Arkansas has to pay the American Atheists group $16,000 for bills they incurred during this lawsuit. Rapert was also ordered to unblock the users.

Attorneys claimed that because Rapert is an elected official and part of the government, he does not have the right to block people from his professional pages.

There was a billboard with let's go brandon on it. It was put up by the christian revival center church.

I looked up that church when I got home and it's leader is also a klan leader.

The hate is DEEP in that area.
