    Exclamation Do We Need Another Racist In the Senate?

    I remember this guy from a few years ago when he tried to run hispanics out of his town. Didn't go to good for him. Now he's the frontrunner for a senate seat????

    http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/25/politi...ess/index.html

    (CNN)Rep. Lou Barletta, an immigration hardliner running in a crowded US Senate primary in Pennsylvania, came in contact over the years with fringe organizations and individuals with views far outside the mainstream of American politics, a CNN KFile review of his public appearances over the past decade reveals.Prior to serving in Congress for the last seven years, Barletta was the mayor of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, where he enacted tough measures to crack down on illegal immigration, including an act that allowed the city to impose fines on landlords who rented to undocumented immigrants and deny permits to businesses who employed them (the ordinance was struck down in federal court).
    As mayor, Barletta did an interview with a fringe publication that promotes Holocaust denial and headlined a rally where a political activist and musician who has questioned the Holocaust and promoted conspiracies about the September 11, 2001 attacks also spoke and performed. As a congressman, Barletta appeared on a panel put on by the controversial Youth for Western Civilization and spoke at an event hosted by a journal that pushes extreme anti-immigrant views.



    Barletta was an early supporter of Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Trump's immigration agenda. His position has garnered him praise from fellow immigration hardliners in the Republican Party and attracted criticism from immigrant activists and civil liberties groups.
    I predict he'll lose.

    Not to mention an endorsement from David Duke.

    Possibly. But being a Holocaust denier, 9-11 denier, and supporter of racist groups such as the KKK is definitely racist.

    We don't, but the republicans sure do. It helps keep their white supremacist arm happy as well as securing them more votes against immigration.

    What white supremacist arm?

    Reps, cons even moreso, tend to reject racism and racists like Duke.

    Those poor, poor people

    The will only have a choice between the Racist that the GOP is running and the Communist that will be supported by the DNC

    Now I am not saying that the man is or is not racist, I don't know, but I can tell you that any left wing media outlet or supporter well not make a difference by crying racist.

    They call everyone that is not a Democrat Racist. But when someone like Joe Biden Gets caught on open mic telling Clinton that Obama would be serving the coffee, they make him vice president. So thinking people even consider the accusation of racism by the left anymore
