re: #171 Backwoods_Sleuth

oh, my…rebranding continues…

At a Dallas event featuring Steve Munisteri, the Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, Ken Emanuelson, a leader in the Tea Party, said: “I’m going to be real honest with you - the Republican Party doesn’t want black people to vote…”

Not quite as bad as it appears:

Emanuelson hasn’t backed away from his comments which, to be fair, are somewhat less egregious when you tack on the “…if they’re going to vote 9-1 for Democrats” Battleground Texas omits from his press release.

Of course, they seem to have gone with disqualifying black voters rather than appealing to them, but I’m always suspicious of quotes that end mid sentence with an ellipsis.
