Republican Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer called on Leavenworth County Commissioner Louis Kemp to resign after he told a black woman at a public hearing that he’s part of the “master race.”

“Racial and discriminative language have no place in our society, and most especially when spoken by someone holding a public office,” Colyer said in his statement on the afternoon of Nov. 17.
