It was only a few weeks ago that I wrote about Michele Fiore, a local congresswoman in Nevada, where I wondered aloud if she was to become the next Michelle Bachman. It seems that she’s still trying to win my heart, using an offensive racial term common in the 1960s to describe an African American colleague.
Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, R-Las Vegas, apparently didn’t like the fact that some committee members and witnesses claimed that minorities would be disproportionately harmed by a voter ID law. “We’re in 2015 and we have a black president, in case anyone didn’t notice,” she said. And there were apparently audible gasps in one of the hearing rooms after Fiore referred to colleague Harvey Munford, D-Las Vegas, who is black, as the first “colored man to graduate from his high school.”
Ouch, baby.
Yeah. No race problem because Obama is president.
