Shirley Sherrod, the Ag Department’s ex-Georgia director of Rural Development, said the WH forced her out after a video surfaced showing her telling a story about how she withheld help to a white farmer in trouble, but she claimed the video omitted key context and that the administration just got scared, Fox News reported.
