MARYSVILLE, Mich. (AP) — A city council candidate in Michigan said Friday she has no plans to end her campaign after shocking a public forum when she said she wants to keep her community white "as much as possible."

Jean Cramer made the comment Thursday in response to a question about diversity in Marysville, a city in St. Clair County, 55 miles (88 kilometers) northeast of Detroit. The Times Herald in Port Huron said she's one of five candidates running for three council seats in November.

More than 90% of Marysville's 9,700-person population is white.

During a follow-up interview Friday outside her Marysville home, Cramer doubled down on her statements. She said if there is a biracial marriage in their family, she could understand why her stance might upset her neighbors.

"Because those people don't know the other side of it," she said. "For whatever reason, I've heard, they love each other, whatever, but there's also such a thing as remaining single. People don't necessarily have to get married, and, if they love somebody, love them single. There's nothing wrong with that."

Don't Ever Doubt That Trump's Ugly Racism Has Permeated Down Through The GOP-- Meet Jean Cramer, A New GOP Heroine In Michigan



Trump was never named Michigan GOP Man of the Year like he claimed, but it's just a matter of time before Jean Cramer is named Michigan GOP Woman Of the Year

Marysville, Michigan is a small town, population 9,959. It's a very red bastion of very, very conservative ideas in St. Clair County, part of Michigan's Thumb northeast of Detroit. It's part of the 10th congressional district (R+13), represented by Paul Mitchell who is retiring. In 2016 Bernie beat Hillary in St. Clair Co. but the Democrats are vastly outnumbered by Republicans. Trump won the general election in the county in a rout-- 40,067 (56.5%) to 24,583 (36.9%). Mitchell breezed to reelection last year despite the anti-red wave. St. Clair, the second biggest county in the district, performed especially well for him-- R+22.

When Mitchell announced he is retiring, Republicans began lining up to replace him. Two have already jumped in and another 8 are preparing tp. The two Democrats in the race are Kelly Noland and Kimberly Bizon, neither of whom has much of a chance and both of whom looks pretty progressive. Actually either probably could win... if the GOP puts up it's new Thumb star, Marysville City Council candidate Jean Cramer. On Thursday, Cramer was at a Republican Party candidate forum and was asked "“Do you believe the diversity of our community needs to be looked at, and if so, should we be more aggressive in attracting foreign-born citizens?"

Her response was kind of Trumpy. "Keep Marysville a white community as much as possible," she responded. The other candidates were shocked.
Council candidate Mike Deising and incumbent Councilman Paul Wessel were more succinct in their responses.

“Just checking the calendar here and making sure it’s still 2019," Deising said, while Wessel added that anyone "anyone who can find their way to Marysville should be allowed to live in Marysville."

1. She should wear a medical bracelet that says "ONLY AMERICAN-BORN WHITES FOR MY HEALTHCARE"

to expedite her long overdue departure to an all-white heaven

Cramer made her comments about keep Marysville as white as possible Thursday after the moderator asked candidates if the city should do more to attract foreign-born residents.

"Keep Marysville a white community as much as possible," she replied. "White. Seriously. In other words, no foreign-born, no foreign people."

The Times-Herald later asked Cramer if she wanted to clarify her remarks.

"Husband and wife need to be the same race. Same thing with kids," she said. "That's how it's been from the beginning of, how can I say, when God created the heaven and the earth. He created Adam and Eve at the same time. But as far as me being against blacks, no I'm not."
