| Rep. West side-eyeing Rep. Carson's claim |
I'm surprised he's lasted this long in that Marxist-dominated den. Never mind that a black person is much safer at a Tea Party event than on Martin Luther King Drive virtually anywhere in America, where far more civil rights violations actually occur. Let's keep it real here. How's that for irony? From Politico, about the conservative Republican Congressman: "After watching several video clips on Wednesday of fellow black lawmakers attack the tea party, Rep. Allen West, Florida Republican, told Fox and Friends host Steve Doocy, 'I think I’m re-considering my membership in the Congressional Black Caucus.'"
More: "This remark came from Rep. West, a popular lawmaker among tea party activists, happened after a clip was played of Rep. Andre Carson, Indiana Democrat, told an audience in Miami that tea-party supporting members of Congress look at African Americans as 'second-class citizens' and would like to see them 'hanging on a tree.' Congressman West immediately defended the tea party and called Rep. Carson's statements 'reprehensible.' Rep. West is the only Republican who is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus."
