re: #118 Lidane

It’s at the Republican Leadership Conference.

Whoever decided it was a good idea to book that guy, especially when there was going to be video is completely politically tone deaf. Doesn’t matter if the jokes are harmless at all. Telling racial jokes with an impersonator of a black president while a bunch of rich white Republicans laugh? Fastest way to lose all your minority voters.

The video cuts out early but they reportedly yanked him off stage…
Obama impersonator crosses the line at RLC

A comedian impersonating President Obama made racially tinged jokes Saturday at the Republican Leadership Conference before being pulled off the stage by an event organizer.

The Obama impersonator, Reggie Brown, said that while the First Lady celebrated all of Black History Month, the bi-racial president only celebrated half the month.

Brown didn’t just limit his jokes to Obama, though. He also mocked Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith, ridiculed Newt Gingrich’s faltering campaign and suggested Tim Pawlenty needed a spinal transplant.

As Brown was preparing to make a Michele Bachmann joke, one of the conference’s officials came out to the lectern and told the comedian to leave the stage.

I guess the Bachmann joke was too much.
