Psychologists agree being rejected can incite negative feelings and emotions. This could explain the on-air unhinged criticisms of Sheriff Richard Roundtree by Augusta, Georgia radio host Austin Rhodes.
Rhodes alleges he is not permitted media access to the sheriff’s office because he is disliked by Sheriff Roundtree. Non-sense!
