Asked to Condemn Omar, Dem Congressman Calls Crenshaw Racist



David Rutz - October 14, 2019 3:15 PM

A Democratic congressman labeled Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R., Texas) "a racist" after he was asked to condemn Rep. Ilhan Omar ‘s (D., Minn.) anti-Semitic remarks.

Rep. Sean Casten (D., Ill.) on Oct. 5 told a voter that Omar's controversial comments about supporters of Israel were "horribly inappropriate." But the congressman then pivoted to attack Crenshaw for introducing an amendment to prevent illegal immigrants from voting.

"The last amendment on the floor that day … came from Dan Crenshaw, the new Republican, the Navy SEAL with the eyepatch," he said. "He came up with an amendment to say, ‘we're going to add a rider on this bill that says that illegals can't vote.' And I sat there and I said, ‘you know what? You're not allowed to vote if you're not a citizen.' … Why are you doing that? The reason you're doing that is because you are a racist. Because you are trying to appeal to people who will vote for you if you stand up and oppose brown people."

Yep, and trying to appeal to brown people for their vote makes you racist against non-brown people.

The implication here is that brown people vote Democrat, so who are the real racists?

Racism has nothing to do with it.  It's the law that illegals can't vote in US elections "legally".   But we realize how Democrats all oppose upholding the rule of law when it conflicts with their radical leftist agenda......... which ends up being most (99%) of the time.

It's federal law that they can't vote in federal elections.  Not sure there's currently any national prohibition against illegals voting in state or local elections if the state or locality permits it, though.  That's what Crenshaw wants to fix.

Thanks for the clarification.
