In reply to the discussion: Darrell Issa has SERIOUSLY pissed off the wrong black people [View all]giftedgirl77
(4,713 posts)7. Repubs new idea of minority outreach
A little off to the side but this douchebag SEN Trey Radel FL has decided to connect by discussing how great public enemy is & how much he loves hip hop. He even went so far as to say that Public Enemys music was in line with conservative values. That got him a quick tweet back from them quickly clarifying but none the less he is still rolling with it.
The sad thing is young ppl are talking about how they didn't know their could be such a cool repub out there.
As always my civic duty requires me to remind them that while he may have rhythm he is still part of the party of racist, homophobic, bigots
