A Republican state senator is facing a wave of criticism after he appeared in a photo with heavily armed members of an anti-government group during a rally in Georgia on Saturday opposing the Islamic legal and moral code.

At the “March Against Sharia” rally in Atlanta, lawmaker Michael Williams posed for the photo with members of the Georgia Security Force III% militia, a local chapter of a national pro-Donald Trump group that supports anti-immigration and anti-government beliefs.

In a tweet of the photo shared by the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch Twitter account, three men can be seen making a hand sign with three fingers extended, which is associated with white supremacy. Williams, who recently announced his candidacy for Georgia’s governorship in the 2018 election, is in the middle of the photo, holding a small American flag.

Williams did not respond to HuffPost’s request for comment on the photo, but his spokesman told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he posed with the group because they appeared to be “pro-gun supporters.”

4. "they appeared to be pro-gun supporters.

He knew exactly who they were. Anyone supporting any bullshit "March against Sharia" is almost certainly a gun humping anti-immigrant GOP-supporting nutjob.

8. And the three fingers were for what exactly, Senator?

Like I need to guess
Oh... and why such a small flag. How come you aren't hugging it and lavishing love upon it like your leader?

11. 11 Most Racist States Ranked By Hate Crimes

6. Georgia

Almost half of the population of our sixth contender on the list of the 11 most racist states ranked by hate crime is non-white. Georgia continues to be the home of major racial controversy cases, including the more recent school principal case where offending racial remarks were made during an official ceremony.
