House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) weighed in briefly Tuesday on racist remarks attributed to Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
“It’s reprehensible,” he told reporters, when asked to comment. He didn’t elaborate.
As first reported by TMZ over the weekend, Sterling was caught on tape telling his girlfriend during a private conversation not to bring black people to his games. The National Basketball Association is investigating the matter.
He’s one of yours.
Embrace the racist.
Wow, racism must be pretty important to the GOP to pull Boehner away from coordinating the avalanche of ‘John Boehner, average guy’ TV spots in his hard fought primary campaign…
I think it’s the full extent of their “outreach” to minorities: Damage Control.
What’s reprehensable is the GOP has been encouraging the same type of ideas that Mr. Sterling espouses. When people like that are called out, it’s met with derision, the calls of being “too sensitive” and told they are tired of the PC Police. Not only that, his party is trying to keep minorities from voting and are active in promoting an end to social programs that help said groups. In the off-chance that Boehner does not approve, many of his collegues and members of his party see nothing wrong with Sterling’s superior attitude.
The GOP, plant food for the racist crabgrass.
