Cornell Jones, director of the nonprofit group which is being sued by the city for using city grant funds designed to help people with HIV/AIDS to help build a strip club, certainly has some opinions on the matter — some incredibly homophobic ones.
The Washington Times reports on Jones’ eye-popping accusations:
Cornell Jones, director of the nonprofit group Miracle Hands, used his Saturday radio show on WOL-AM 1450 to attack council members David A. Catania, at-large independent, and Jim Graham, Ward 1 Democrat.
On his show, “Keeping up with the Joneses,” Mr. Jones said Mr. Catania and Mr. Graham are “a couple of gay guys who sometimes get to acting like little faggots.”
Jones also went on to state that he believed Graham had “much larger sums in question” at Whitman-Walker Health, which the Councilmember once ran, but that those issues were swept under the rug because of “racial bias.”
Jones — who is a convicted drug felon — and his organization have received close to $6 million in city grant funds since 2000.
