GOP Candidate Sharron Angle Continues To Insult Hispanic Community In Nevada Senate Race
GOP candidate Sharron Angle continues to make bizarre remarks about the Hispanic community in Nevada.
Las Vegas Sun reporter Jon Ralston has the full story up here, excerpts are below:
As more of the video surfaces from GOP Senate nominee Sharron Angle's meeting last week with Rancho High School's Hispanic kids, the more bizarre it gets.
Elsewhere on this blog, I have posted the video of her claiming an infamous still she and Louisiana Sen. David Vitter used in an ad, an incendiary image of Hispanic thugs, may not have been an image of Hispanics.
That was nutty enough. But at the same meeting, according to video I have obtained and taken by one of the Hispanic students, she said some of the kids looked more Asian.
The video can be seen here, and a transcript is below:
"So that’s what we want is a secure and sovereign nation and, you know, I don’t know that all of you are Latino.
Some of you look a little more Asian to me. I don’t know that. [Note: it's the Hispanic Student Union. The whole room is Hispanic teenagers.]
What we know, what we know about ourselves is that we are a melting pot in this country. My grandchildren are evidence of that. I’m evidence of that. I’ve been called the first Asian legislator in our Nevada State Assembly."
It is important to note that the group she was speaking to was entirely Hispanic, as it was an event put on by the Hispanic Student Union... Also worth noting Angle, is not Asian, so her statement that she would be, the first Asian legislator in our Nevada State Assembly, makes no sense. Make of that what you will.....
