Conservative pundit Ben Stein on Sunday declared that President Obama is the most racist president ever.

During an appearance on Fox News’ “America’s News HQ,” Stein said that Democrats and the White House have tried to make this election about race.

“What the White House is trying to do is racialize all politics and their especially trying to tell the Africa-American voter that the GOP is against letting them have a chance at a good life in this economy, and that’s just a complete lie,” he said. “I watch with fascination — with incredible fascination — all the stories about how the Democratic politicians, especially Hillary, are trying to whip up the African-American vote and say, ‘Oh the Republicans have policies against black people in terms of the economy.’ But there are no such policies.”

“It’s all a way to racialize voting in this country,” Stein continued. “This president is the most racist president there has ever been in America. He is purposely trying to use race to divide Americans.”

  1. Ben Stein, “I’m a racist and proud of it.”

  2. I guess “most racist president there has ever been” would necessarily include the ones who actually owned slaves, you maladjusted nimrod fuck.

  3. Would people please stop saying “Most X EVER” because, quite frankly, I can name a few Presidents who were incredibly racist.

    Oh, and Stein- if your Party hadn’t, beginning with Richard M. Nixon, begun tapping into the white racists of the South, we might actually be in a far better situation than we are now. So, you racist little troll should just go away.

    1 / Mr. Stein forgets about the US Presidents who owned slaves. They were pretty racist. Woodrow Wilson was very racist, too. There were plenty more.

    2 / Stein’s inability to see the racist policies of GOP-driven voter suppression is gobsmacking. Projection is not just for movie theaters.
