Democrat's 'grotesque' blanket statement about Latinos sends internet ablaze
Democrat's 'grotesque' statement about Latinos sends internet ablaze
A Democratic congressman from the South is in hot water after claiming he did not defend migrants getting deported, 'because I'm not a Latino at the Home Depot.'
A Democratic congressman (Hank Johnson) from the South is in hot water after claiming he did not defend migrants getting deported, 'because I'm not a Latino at the Home Depot.'
'First, they came for the Latinos outside of the Home Depots trying to get work so that they could feed their families,' Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said during a congressional hearing on Wednesday.
'I didn't say anything about it, because I'm not a Latino at the Home Depot,' the Democrat continued.
~Snip~
'There is obvious absurd humor in this grotesque display,' Jared Culver, a legal analyst for the Immigration Accountability Project wrote.
'Donât let it distract from the common Congress apologia for cheap labor servitude by foreign workersm' he continued. 'They casually justify it.'
'ManâŚ..thatâs hard to watch,' another X user, Brian Hastings, commented.
'Iâm sure he thought it would be dramatic and cool. But he seemed to realize, about half way through, that he looked like a complete idiot, taking eloquent, historically meaningful words, and making them meaningless.'
~Snip~
Johnson's poem continued for about three minutes in total.
He also noted how the Republican has gone after students on visas and recently arrested a 'white' judge for aiding an illegal immigrant.
'They came and arrested a white female judge, a state court judge, presiding over her courtroom and the litigants therein, managing the affairs of her court, and they came and arrested her, and perp walked her to jail,' Johnson's poem concluded.
Commentary:
Poor Hank Johnson 11 donuts short of a dozen. He's the Congressman that thought the island of Guam would tip over if too many people got on it.
Heâs basically saying that the only time he sees Latinos is when they are looking for construction jobs he wonât do. How very Jim Crowe of him
When is Congressman âFoot -In-Mouthâ syndrome Johnson going to be pushed out of congress?
I found out heâs âonlyâ 70 years old!
The way he expresses himself ad lib, and is allowed to get away with it, I was sure he must be a much older man, maybe even near Senator Grassleyâs age (91).
Hank Johnson long ago reached the final, last, and terminal personification of the word âBuffoonâ. I have as much respect for him as I would a chimpanzee with a capital âDâ on its shirt.
