Recently released text messages show Peter Strzok, an FBI counterintelligence official, saying that he hates then-candidate Trump and calling Republican voters “ignorant hillbillys.”

Messages also show Strzok on November 4, 2015, talking to his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, about the loss of Jill McCabe in a state senate race in Virginia. Jill McCabe is the wife of former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe. (RELATED: Senate Committee Releases Massive Trove Of Peter Strzok’s Text Messages)

She ran as a Democrat, and lost to Republican Dick Black in 2015.

Lisa Page asked “What is wrong with people?”

Strzok responded by saying that the residents of Loundon County, Virginia were “largely ignorant hillbillys” (sic).

In another exchange, this one from June 12, 2016, Strzok and Page are seen seemingly disagreeing over affirmative action.

In one message, Strzok begins a sentence saying, “And while i hate Trump, part of me thought (redacted) would not/may not get into (redacted) because they’re white and not from buttf*ck Texas…”

Strzok also seems to believe that half of the American population has a “bigoted hatred.”
