Congressman Mo Brooks, who is from Alabama and is a Republican (what are the odds?) told wingnut radio host Laura Ingraham today that the GOP’s intransigent hardline stance on immigration isn’t going to hurt the party with Latino voters. Nope, not at all. What’s really going on, according to Brooks, is that the Democrats are waging a “war on whites.”

And it’s all part of the nefarious strategy devised by Barack Obama, of course.

“This is a part of the war on whites that’s being launched by the Democratic Party. And the way in which they’re launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else,” he said during an interview Monday with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham. “It’s part of the strategy that Barack Obama implemented in 2008, continued in 2012, where he divides us all on race, on sex, greed, envy, class warfare, all those kinds of things. Well that’s not true.”
