Kansas Senate Minority Leader Calls Kris Kobach the Most Racist Politician in America
It’s a hard argument to make that any politician is more dedicated to racist causes than Kris Kobach.
“I want to take this opportunity to call on Kris Kobach, the most racist politician in America today, to resign from office.” — Kansas Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley in a speech Saturday night in Topeka at Washington Days.
Hensley said Kobach should step down for comments he made during a radio program in which he appeared to agree with a caller who speculated that President Barack Obama would seek a moratorium on the prosecution of all African-American criminals. Said Kobach: “Well, it’s already happening, more or less, in the case of civil rights laws. So I guess it’s not a huge jump. I think it’s unlikely but, you know, I’ve learned to say with this president never say never.”
▪ “It may take longer than we originally hoped, but I believe with all my heart that we still can - and we still will - `Restore Kansas’ together.” — Paul Davis, the 2014 Democratic candidate for governor, at Washington Days Saturday night.
