Since the Republicans big win Tuesday night, the G.O.P has been in good spirits. However, a fellow Republican called into C-Span’s “Washington Journal” Thursday morning (Nov. 6) to tell members of his party to not get too excited, and then proceeded to refer to President Barack Obama as a “nigger” on the air.
“I would just like to say, that the Republicans — and I’m a Republican — please do not overreach, the caller began. I know they’re going to overreach but I’m telling you, if you advocate for the repeal of Obamacare and you get too extreme, then Hillary Clinton will be elected President in 2016.
This is about race, he added. The Republicans hate that nigger Obama.”
The caller identified himself as Anthony from San Diego, and when the host Steve Scully heard the racist comments, immediately hung-up on Anthony in favor of finding someone who could express their joy over the Republican win without being racist.
Whether you like it or not, Barack Obama is the leader of the free world, voted into office not once, but TWICE by the American people. At the very least, respect his position, Anthony.
