An Indiana city council member who made insulting comments about Muslims on social media in 2015, years before he was elected, says he regrets posting those remarks and no longer holds those views.
Greg Jones is a Republican member of the Kokomo Common Council.
The Kokomo Tribune reports he posted incendiary remarks about Muslims and their religious beliefs on Facebook in June 2015, four years before he was elected to the council in the city about 40 miles north of Indianapolis.
He said Monday he regrets those comments and made them at a time when he “didn’t understand what Islam actually was.”
