Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly Wishes He Could Cover Up His Racist Joke About “Rodrigo”

J.D. Rucker  •  Sep. 25, 2022

Senator Mark Kelly, who is facing losing his incumbent seat to Trump-backed Republican Blake Masters, went full-blown racist in a joke he told an audience in 2018, saying his DNA-challenged astronaut brother is “halfway between an orangutan and a howler monkey… we even changed his name to Rodrigo.”

Why change his name to “Rodrigo?” Mark Kelly’s brother is White and “Rodrigo” is generally an Hispanic name. It didn’t make sense in context and it sounds pretty darn racist no matter how you slice it.

He apologized but offered no reasoning for his comment, only noting that his brother has hard times ever since spending a year in space.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-
