Pinal County Greens Co-Chair Richard Grayson Hails South Carolina Primary Results as a Victory for the Afro-Punk Movement


Apache Junction, Ariz., Jan. 21 --

Green Party presidential candidate Richard Grayson, co-chair of the Pinal County Greens, tonight hailed the results of the South Carolina Republican primary as "a tremendous victory for the Afro-Punk movement."

Grayson, watching the primary results on a 13" black-and-white cathode-ray television in a trailer park in nothern Pinal County, told his supporter that Newt Gingrich's resounding defeat of Mitt Romney can be attributed to South Carolinians' historical support of the Afro-Punk movement going back a dozen years.

"I would like to congratulate the Carolina Afro-Punks on their capturing the hearts and minds of Palmetto State Republicans," Grayson said. "As a queer Muslim Afro-Punk from the Barrio and with Janelle Monáe as my candidate for Vice President on the Green Party ticket, we are going to remake America for alternative urban kids everywhere!"

The Pinal County Greens are members of the Arizona Green Party in Pinal County.

Richard Grayson is on the ballot in the February 28 Arizona Green Party presidential preference primary.
