CARSON CITY, Nev. -- CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A Nevada assemblyman came under fire Monday after a YouTube video surfaced in which he told a Republican gathering he would vote to allow slavery if that is what his constituents wanted him to do.
"If that's what they wanted, I'd have to hold my nose ... they'd probably have to hold a gun to my head, but yeah," Assemblyman Jim Wheeler told members of the Storey County Republican Party at a meeting in August.
last paragraph, he realized what he said and in a desperate attempt he turns on his constituency,
"If that's what they wanted, I'd have to hold my nose ... they'd probably have to hold a gun to my head, but yeah,"
why would the thought enter his mind are the people of his district racist and he knows it or is it just a case of "he who knows none suspects none" and he obviously knows some.
His comments were swiftly denounced by Republicans and Democrats alike."Assemblyman Wheeler's comments are deeply offensive and have no place in our society," Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval said in a statement. "He should retract his remarks and apologize."U.S. Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., called Wheeler's comments "insensitive and wrong," while the Assembly Democratic caucus said they were "reprehensible and disgusting."Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson, R-Henderson, on Twitter said Wheeler's comments are "outrageous, they are embarrassing and they are just plain sad."
wow they can race to let people know it's not about race for them, but where were they during the 5 year racial slurs and epithets were whirling around the republican clans, where were they on the on going attacks on women, climate changing in Carson City and racism no longer the speak de jour?
