South Windsor Republican Quits Council Race After Horrific Instagram Posts Exposed.

The Journal Inquirer was first with the story. Republican town council candidate Adam Wood resigned from the contest Monday after a series of shocking social media posts came to light.

The Instagram account with the posts has been deleted. Daily Ructions has seen some of the posts and they are staggering in their malice for women, Moslems, and mankind. Some were posted as recently as 2020. They will not be included in this post.

Wood’s resignation occurred after the deadline for filling vacancies on this November’s municipal ballot. The scandal raises the question of why local Republican leaders did not conduct more internet due diligence in their extended candidate recruitment and vetting process.
