Pro-Refugee Mayor of Rutland, VT Humiliated in Stunning Re-Election Bid Defeat

“Five-term incumbent Mayor Chris Louras of Rutland, Vermont was defeated this Town Meeting Day. He lost to Alderman Dave Allaire by a margin of 52 percent to 34 percent. Allaire swept all four wards,” WCAX reported Tuesday night. “Louras had beaten Allaire in two previous mayoral elections,” Seven Days Vermont reported.

It was not even close on Tuesday, as Louras (pictured) was crushed in a humiliating defeat that was as much a rejection of his personal character as it was of his pro-refugee policies.

Louras made headlines last year when it was reported that, beginning in 2015, he secretively attempted to resettle 100 Syrian refugees in the small Vermont city he has served as mayor since 2007.

“Mayor Christopher Louras has unveiled a plan, developed in near-secrecy, to resettle 100 Syrian refugees who fled the onslaught of the Islamic State and are exiled in sprawling Jordanian camps,” the Boston Globe reported in May.

The leftists and Globalists beware we are having no more of your multiculturalism rammed down our throats.
This is just a taste of what is coming and you can scream all you like that silent majority are no longer silent and their silence will become deafening in the not too distant future.

Liberals: “Refugees welcome. Just not in our town.”

That’s one down.

"...“Though I wanted to think this was not a referendum on refugee resettlement, I continue to believe, as I’ve articulated, Rutland is a microcosm of the national conversation on immigration and refugees, and ultimately it was not an election on the issues but an election based on emotions,” Louras told the Associated Press..."

Hey, stupid. ALL elections are won or lost on emotions.

Sunshine laws are you friend.

He was just trying to add some instant cultural vibrancy.

"ultimately it was not an election on the issues but an election based on emotions,” Louras told the Associated Press.

Voters not wanting jihadists to destroy their town is most certainly an ISSUE.

Obama poured refugees into the US, gave the Royal Idiot a good laugh.
Here's Obama's grim diversity joke on states like lily-white Maine.

Somali refugees in Maine. Notice the bags of freebies.

Figure 50 Democrat votes when the Somali tribe's multiple identities go to the polls. Kids vote, too.

Oh, how I hope Oregon starts doing this.

[milagro]

Never happen, I’m afraid.
The spawn of Portland + Eugene have too much power.

Good News, the people continue to demand representation, not idiot liberal activist government.

[DIRTYSECRET]

You mean the libber closet conservatives?

[sheana]

Well I for one don’t like the cultural changes but I guess my biggest thing about refugees is.....how in the heck does it help us to bring in thousands and thousands of people not from this country to suck on our welfare system. Refugee status gets them all auto benefits.

There aren’t any Somalis in my area of Maine, but there are refugees from Haiti.

Gotta love the brutally honest brand of liberalism that you find in Vermont.
